hi demi

you can get lyme disease in the uk. i thought all my problems were mercury poisoning but my dentist said it was lyme disease. I was tested at southampton lyme unit and the test results came back negative, but since joining eurolyme i have read about lots of people who were tested there and had negative results. they sent their blood to the usa to igenex or bowen and the test results came back positive. lyme is becoming a lot more prevelent in the uk and there have recently been lots of articles in the press warning people about ticks. most people with lyme disease do not remember being bitten by a tick and at least 50% of people do not have a classic bulls eye rash which is another indication of lyme disease. I recommend you join eurolyme and find out more about lyme disease, it is a brilliant group with lots of very useful information.

best wishes karen.

ps i'm the one who gave you advice about dentists.
