Anyone have experience with testing positive for dsDNA antibodies and chronic Lyme?
Background: - I had lyme in 1994, had standard 4 week doxy treatment, which seemed to take care of it.
- Suffered from fatigue and chronic mono and have been treated for chronic lyme in the early 2000's by Jemsek.
Current: - continue to suffer from fatigue and brain fog in ever worsening fashion. Have had relapses of acute epstein barr and bouts with pneunomia. Always had low WBC counts since the 1990's. Now I've tested positive for dsDNA antibodies, but not ANA, so it doesn't look like Lupus. Standard Lyme tests came back negative (WB IGG and IGM).
If anyone has some thoughts or experience with this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
