I'm going to ask my LLMD about her. She is convinced it is "just" thoracic outlet syndrome because that's what her doctor told her and hopefully he's right. I think most people assume the medical profession knows everything. We'll just wait and see if therapy helps her and then if she develops any more symptoms, she'll be convinced to get the western blot. I just wonder how many people with lyme this is happening to - those with CFS, fibromyalgia, MS, rheumatoid. Not that these are not illnesses and you can't have them on their own, but they all mimic lyme and are much more commonly diagnosed, I wonder how many incorrectly.
