I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia since 1992 but recently found out that it was truly Lyme disease. I guess I have both. I just had my physical yesterday. My doctor has found for yet another time (last year or so) that my reflexes when she taps my knees are almost nil. Why? I have complained that my ankles do not seem to want bend especially going downstairs. I need to know what test or what specialist I should see. I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my lower legs more than a year ago. Since treatment for the Lyme the numbness has improved. What do you think? Thanks, Arlene
