SIGAL AND QEEG:

"Quantitative EEG, flash visual evoked potentials, auditory evoked
potentials to common and rare tones, and median nerve somatosensory
evoked potentials were obtained from 12 patients with active CNS Lyme
disease and from 11 patients previously treated for active CNS Lyme
disease. Abnormal QEEG and/or EPs were found in 75% of the active Lyme
disease patients and in 54% of the post CNS Lyme disease patients.
Three different types of neurophysiological abnormality were observed
in these patients including QEEG slowing, possible signs of cortical
hyperexcitability, and focal patterns indicating disturbed
interhemispheric relationships. In patients tested before and after
treatment QEEG and EP normalization was associated with clinical
improvement."
He later said we have fibromyalgia and that fibromyalgia is
catastophizing:

I have another page somewhere scanned in from Shutzer' book in which
Lenny says that IL2 or other cytokines could be responsible for the
sleep disorder associated with fibromyalgia. (Therefore, he is saying
this is not an imaginary illness.)
Steere, Sigal, Rahn and Schoen report treatment failure in 1/2 the

"LYME PARANOIA"-- Robert Schoen, MD, Yale Rheumatology
"Lyme fear prevails more than disease", The Washington Times ) Dr. Mary
Jane Minkin;
04-18-1999
Q: I thought I might have Lyme disease because I had several of the
symptoms: joint pain, fatigue and headaches. But my blood test was
negative. Could I have Lyme disease anyway?
A: It's unlikely, but you're not the first person to express concern
to me about having Lyme disease in spite of a negative blood test.
While it's especially important at this time of year to be aware of
the warning signs of the disease - a skin rash around the site of a
tick bite, headache, fever, fatigue and muscle or joint pain - ***Lyme
paranoia,*** as I call it, is not warranted. Even in high-risk
areas such as Connecticut, where I live, the chance of developing Lyme
disease after a tick bite is only 1 to 2 percent.
