Western Blots are known for false negatives, too. My Western Blot was negative. I didn't have ELISA. My tests from Immunosciences were positive. Keep pushing for an accurate test. If these come back negative, don't be surprised. In other words, don't let that end your quest to be properly diagnosed. It doesn't mean you DON'T have lyme if your western blot and elisa are negative. Regular docs are simply uneducated about the tests for Lyme and the inaccuracies surrounding them. Good luck and I believe you are right...there is a reason for FM...it doesn't just happen and no cure....something is causing your pain and your symptoms are your body's way of telling you that something is wrong.

Open your mind to the possibilities available to you.
An attitude of gratitude is good 'medicine,' too.
