Hi All! Just wondering how many CEBV sufferer's have also had LYME'S diagnosis in the past? We are trying to find a correlation based on what I was reading on the LYME'S post. Or the opposite, diagnosed with mono/EBV then Lyme's...

I had mono for over a year, found out also had lyme whether I still do or not is the question. Many people who have high stress or other diseases or auto immune situations will have EBV as the bodies defence system is not good. Lyme tests are not accurate they can give false negatives and false positives I am checking into a test now that is suppose to check for the actual antigen this would be wonderful there are still flaws in it but there is in most blood tests.

No I am talking about the Lyme test the antigen being the actual bacteria the other tests check antibodies, this new one checks for actual bacteria. Hoping I get my doctor to do this one.

what is LLMD? my doc gave me a script for the lymes test, my neurologist is a neurologist/immunologist, that's how he knew how to test correctly for the EBV.
