Lyme is treatable: If you've been told you have chronic Lyme - I would prefer those words came from an Infectious Diseases specialist -who knows all about Lyme and how to treat it, even in the late stages. I would be wary of other 'so called experts' who really have no knowledge of the disease at all, and are just scamming you for money. Of course there is a test for Babesia, and good medical treatment. See ID doc.
