Lyme and Associated Vector-Borne Disease Lyme disease is a treatable illness, whether you've had a recent exposure or been sick for years. Lyme disease is a clinical diagnosis, not a laboratory diagnosis. Several other illnesses can have the same symptoms, and must be considered in the differential diagnosis. The standard lab test misses 44 out of every 100 cases of Lyme disease. If your test is negative, it does not mean you do not have Lyme disease and/or associated co-infections. The average patient goes to five health care practitioners before being diagnosed. Sometimes Lyme disease is found in patients who have multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, auto-immune diseases, mold toxicity, heavy metal toxicity, electro-magnetic field exposure, parasite infections. This illness can affect many body systems, or be predominantly in one system. Symptoms can come and go. Symptoms can change.
