Hi there-
I'm sorry to hear how poorly you're feeling. It's good that you have been tested for other things just to rule them out.
The short answer to your question is yes, lyme can reoccur years after an infection was treated. It's also possible that you were reinfected at some point. Many people don't notice a rash.
I would recommend that you find a LLMD (Lyme literate medical doctor) and get tested for lyme and coinfections.
Feel free to ask more questions!
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Terri

I was treated for Lyme over 10 years ago (in NY). I had the rash, tested positive, etc. Even after supposedly being "clean," I continued to have joint pain. I finally found a fix for this 2 years ago but over the past 6 months things have deteriorated. I have lost close to 40 pounds, developed tinnitus, suffer significant digestive issues, numbness in my legs, discoloring (red to purple) and swelling in my feet, and much more. I have been through a huge battery of tests with nothing conclusive and it just recently dawned on me that this might actually be the Lyme. Is it possible to have had Lyme Disease all this time and that it could just seriously act up again over 10 years after my infection?
