- David ---
- I was bitten by a tick while on holiday in West Virginia, summer 1980.
- I was EXTREMELY ill and weak/feverish ... Recouperation was slow.
- I began noticing my general health was sliding considerably by 1982/3,
- and became totally bed-ridden for a week in 1986, when I had a blood-
- test (but Lime was not a factor in the considerations, of course).
- The intermittent weakened phases became more frequent, and a post-viral
- condition was suspected by around 1989. A blood-test for Lime was included
- in tests around 1991 - but no evidence was found. Does this mean that the
- tests might be inadequate?
-
- What tests should be specified?
-
- Cheers,
