I don’t know the answer, but I hope someone here can help you. Knowing your history, since you are my niece, and all of your health related issues always pointing towards Lyme Disease, I think this is the best community to post your questions.  If you could, maybe you could share some more  information about your long battle with symptoms and diagnosis’ , someone could fit the pieces to the puzzle together for you.  :) <3
