Dear Stephen,
I have severe myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), but I also have been bitten by a tick, 7 years after falling ill with ME. I have had some antibiotics and since then they test me every time on borrelia by normal tests; always negative. A friend of mine lets me test by living blood anylysis and the conclusion was: positive. Do you know anybody who can help me out, who can have a look at the little film I have from my blood? I do not know know if it is lyme or not. I am in The Netherlands and the organisation here does not know. Borrelia has always been negative. I was diagnosed with Cats scratch disease, but also with severe ME. My Nk cell activity is almost zero. I must have been infected with bartonella in 1999. But was bitten by a tick in 2006 for sure. Thank you for reading this!
