In several ways, Marian's medical problems don't sound like CFS; things like seizures, kidney failure, are not typically associated with CFS for example. However, every symptom/medical diagnosis mentioned can be seen in Lyme disease. I would guess that along the way Marian must have been tested for Lyme disease, perhaps with negative results. However, negative results are not always accurate...some feel that in as much as 50% of testing there are false negative results. I would hope that Marian has been evaluated at some point, or will be evaluated, by a Lyme Literate MD/infectious disease specialist to consider the Lyme disease possibility.
