Hello, Thank you for all information provided--as the old sayin' goes, if you have any other knowledge "Keep it coming"
Minocat: I think that being taken off the IVIG for my two yr. insurance review triggered this relapse--as I wasn't having any real lyme symptoms for quite some time---and I had not been on ABX for over 9 months' time. All testing was negative.
I usually recieve the IVIG every other week---and the immunilogist had me wait six weeks to retest---since he knows everyones' titers are low enough at that point to fit into standard insurance levels of treatment( below 700 IgG total--per my healthcarrier--United)
The LLMD took the chance to retest for TBD's---since I had been off of the IVIG for 4 wks by the time I was in the office( IVIG has a half-life of 25-31 days)and was complaining that my symptoms were coming back with a vengence.
Borrelia, and Babs were positive--all others were negative( I' gotta say--I'm one of the really lucky one's ---as my blood testing seems to always correlate to what is going on with my symptoms of lyme--If I'm doing good---all testing usually reflects that--if I'm doing poorly--my testing usually comes back postive with the known offenders)
So, back to the Mepron and zithro
Janet: From my experince with Babs, I have fevers that come and go( usually 101-102 range) horrid night, and day sweats that come and go, and some pretty darn scary shortness of breath episodes--which got so bad--I checked into a pulmonoligist to check this symptom out( I have a slight heart murmmur--Pulmonary stenois, so I had wondered if this was acting up)
Others will probaly come along with more ideas about your question
