Betty Gs CHRONIC LYME Story
Written by Bettyg   
28 June 2007
personal storyJuly 12, 2004, I was correctly diagnosed with late stage, CHRONIC lyme disease after being misdiagnosed for 34 years after a case of mononucleosis/Epstein Barr virus, and the list goes on with 40+ diagnosis/symptoms!

I was beginning to show early-onset Alzheimer’s disease symptoms when I couldn’t remember where I had parked one day, and decided to pursue this since other strange things were happening as well.

Then I went to a support group meeting listed in the newspaper but didn’t have anything on it showing it was a LYME meeting. They talked of their symptoms, which matched mine exactly. They then talked about a new blood test, western blot igm and igg, tested at Igenex Labs, Palo Alto, California.
