I believe the lupus was caused by the lyme. Untreated lyme mimics many other illnesses such as MS, ALS, Parkinson, etc.
If you need some tips for your Mom, send me a pm or email and maybe I can help out.
I've not been tested again for lyme since most testing has a 96% failure rate. It's mostly a clinic diagnosis. Since I have very few symptoms, I consider myself "cured" but take it day by day. I still have some bad days, but they are so few now.
My diet is really clean and I lift weights 4 days a week and have been for months and months, This helps!
I'll be in TO for a conference soon, I'll let you know and we can hook up!
