Hello,

I was mis-diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I actually have lyme disease! I was tested from a company called Igenex in california and now I feel much better! If I had not recieved my Lyme Diagnosis I know my health would have continued to decline!

MS is not always a disease that declines. I know from personal experience. And from what I understand Lyme can be much, much worse.

Did you get a 2nd opinion or have another test done at a different facility...I would want to make absolutely sure what I have in order to treat it correctly.

Stay Healthy!
