ooohhhh, I would pass. There is many complications, and honestly, lyme can rarely be found in spinal fluid, because of it's shape it hides in tissues, tendons, etc. I was just reading this in a book about Buhner. and talking with a dear lyme friend. SOmeone over on lymenet was all excited about it, and she treid to talk her out of it, because of the complexity. well, she did it anyhow, and wished she didn't ... BUT she was one of the lucky ones that they found a few in the fluid. it's a hard call. are you seeing LLMD? usually they dx symptomatically.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
