Lyme Disease

[JudyLV]

Has anyone else with tics and OCD had Lyme Disease? I was glad to read the new Latitudes article "Lyme Disease in Tourette Syndrome and Autism". My son had Lyme Disease 5 years ago and although we thought he had been completely treated, with Lyme there is always a chance that it is hiding out only to resurface later. We are currently going through some more tests for Lyme and other co-infections. Lyme could be the basis for his many food intolerances and more recently developed anxiety, OCD and vocal tics.

 

I am sure it will be years before this is recognized by mainstream doctors but I am comforted that at least a connection is starting to be made between Lyme and psychiatric illnesses.
