[Dysphagia] Lyme disease

My colleague and I have just completed an evaluation with a gentleman who was recently diagnosed with ALS. He has also been receiving treatment for Lyme disease, which he had for 1 1/2 years before being diagnosed, he has been receiving tx for the past 1 1/2 years. He has also been receiving some conflicting information from the many doctors that he has been seeing, he has Lyme disease, he does not have Lyme disease. The characteristics that he displayed during the evaluation were consistent with those of individuals with ALS.
He posed a question to us, "Have you ever seen neurological damage, or speech and swallowing difficulties similar to those with ALS in individuals with Lyme disease?" We could not give him an answer.
So I am hoping someone out there may be able to help us give this gentleman some answers to his questions.
