What about the patients that have lyme & its not showing on the tests? Why can't you do more thorough testing. I am very sick & so was my dog after visiting a farm. I came down with all the symptoms for Lyme disease. But the tests the NHS run on me in UK came back negative? I'm just worried I have it & not being taken seriously and won't be able to have the vaccine?

1983 +/- a year my tick bite.
2013 my Lyme diagnosis.
I was a mowing lawns in the neighborhood as a teenager in Rochester Minnesota. One day I came in with a bullseye rash on my right upper arm and I showed it to my brother who said it’s probably a tick bite and nothing to worry about. And in the early 1980’s very few Doctors outside of Lyme Connecticut had heard of Lyme disease. It’s been an up and down roller coaster for my health since about 2014. In 2017 I was getting so sick that I thought I only had a few years to live. A new natural medicine antibiotic arrived on the market and I started it November 2020. I’m now working 2 jobs at age 56. In 2013 my Doctor said that we detected it just in time because eventually Lyme gets to the stage at which no test can detect it. Eventually no types of medicines in pharmaceutical or alternative type will treat it or stop it.

A bulls eye is only a small portion of the people bitten, the rash can present itself in various forms.

Jan. 31, 2001 (Washington) -- Could a vaccine be more dangerous than the disease it's supposed to prevent?
The panel held the meeting to review reports that indicate the vaccine may somehow trigger treatment-resistant Lyme arthritis and other chronic arthritic disorder.
panel members said they were frustrated that additional studies have failed to clear up uncertainties about adverse events that may be linked to the vaccine.

In the end, most panel members said they supported revisions and possible new warnings on the vaccine's package inserts, as well as heightened public education about the potential risks of the vaccine.
