Tina: You might think I am crazy, but with severe joint pain at 36 I would
insist that my doctor test me for lyme disease. For a lot of reasons, you
doctor will undoubtedly resist giving you the test.  But do yourself a favor
-- INSIST that he give you one. I have alot of experience and information
about LD because a good friend has it.
