A member asked:
I was diagnosed with lyme disease in '93. is it possible that i am still having some symptoms now?

Yes: It's possible that the infection is still present if you were not treated or were under treated. It's also possible that you could have gotten re-infected, as you don't develop immunity to the infection.
