Rheumatoid Arthritis? Or is it really Lyme?

[Vicki]

I found this research article from MDPI out of Switzerland and thought it very interesting. It is long, but you may find it helpful. Because there are so many labeled autoimmune disorders (RA, Lupus, Fibro, Psoriatic Arth, etc) that have many of the same symptoms, I wonder if many of us may have been misdiagnosed and are actually Lyme infected. I was diagnosed with RA in 2012 but based on this information and my labs, I may be Lyme infected. I just want to put it out there in case anyone is interested. If this was previously posted I apologize for the redundancy. There is an option to download the PDF.
