Excited to see Specialist

Tomorrow I have an appointment with a Lyme disease specialist. I am excited to meet with her and see what she has to say. I want to know how certain she is that I truly have Lyme disease. I know that the laboratory tests for the disease are not completely reliable and that I do not have joint pain or psychiatric symptoms. I have tons of questions for her. Hopefully, my seven year medical history of this debilitating illness will facilitate the diagnosis. I hope that I can remember all of the important details of the last seven years. Maybe one detail of a symptom I experience will solve the puzzle. Also, I want to know if I have Lyme disease and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or if I have just one of the diseases. These illnesses are very confusing for the patient to understand.
