A member asked:

I want to know why i can't find a doctor who will test for lyme disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: That sounds absurd. Any doctor should be willing to test for lyme if your symptoms fit that diagnosis. If you are looking to continually have the test repeated when it is consistently negative, you are wasting time, energy and money.
