| Parkinson's and Lyme Disease
One of my family members has been recently diagnosed with Parkinson's and another family member has been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Both family members asked me to do on-line research on both diseases, and I read that many patients who have Lyme disease have been misdiagnosed with Parkinson's.
In addition, I read that some patients with Parkinson's developed it because they had Lyme disease originally, and those patients who are treated for Lyme and Parkinson's show good improvement of their symptoms.
I just wanted to inform the posters of this board about the information I learned, and if anyone lives in an area that is high risk for Lyme disease, like the U.S. Northeast, it might be worth their while to get a blood test for Lyme.
