Secondary rash followup

I ended up going to dr for the hip pain, rash and weird chest pains that all started around the same time.  All tests came back fine regarding arthritis or cardiac inflammation, and they ran a second lyme titer and a western blot (missed the first time around).  I wanted them done to see if there was an active infection going on, just because things were getting weird again.  The titer came back negative, which is great news if it was eradicated, and obvious news if it went into my joints and there was not antibody reaction happening; Lyme tests rely on finding antibodies as evidence of an infection, it cannot actually find Lyme. The western blot is still not back, but I wanted to run the panel #'s by the forums when it does- they seem to give more info than the dr. BTW, a great forum for every subject imaginable re: Lyme or symptoms/reactions is HealingWell.com
