I think it is the case that there isn't adequate testing to always diagnose Lyme disease? I was bitten by a tick a couple weeks ago, and most of the Lyme blood tests have returned Negative. Most, except for one of the categories under IgM which returned as Equivocal. The lab says at least two categories need to be positive in order to consider a Lyme diagnosis, so my doctor says it is a Negative result.
I have had vertigo for almost two weeks now, which started a few days after the bite. My doctor gave me physical therapy exercises, which haven't helped.
I am seeing my doctor again tomorrow. Is there anything that someone experienced with Lyme would suggest that I ask? Does it seem possible that the vertigo could be a result of the bite? Yes, I know asking for medical advice online is dicey. Just checking in on thoughts for me to consider before I see the doctor tomorrow, as I have been misdiagnosed multiple times with other things by doctors, and I don't know enough about Lyme testing to know if the IgG and IgM tests are adequate.
