    I don’t much about Lyme’s Disease. I just read about it on Wikipedia.

    Is it something that is only curable in the early stages of the disease?

    Phil, I am so glad you posted that. I live in AZ and my son was treated for Lyme in 2011. It just so happened that his pediatric doctors office had just hired a Pediatrician from New Jersey. Her immediate thought was Lyme and she tested for it right away. I kept thinking where did he get this from, We have not been out of the state since 2006? Now I can refer my doctor to the ADHS website if need be. I initially thought that I may have gotten it too when the RA symptoms started, but tests came back negative.
    Good info, thanks Phil.
