dr w's office called. can you believe it was HIM? the doctor himself!! he asked about my history and when i told him i had the em rash and that other doctor was very expensive and did a ton of tests. He didn't say a word just that "a lot of testing is unnecessary when you have a positive em rash."

he asked about my treatments and i told him and he said "well basically the infec doc did nothing cause 1000 of amoxy is useless and that's just a blackhole anyway so you've been untreated since 2005."

I told him about my mom and he said I may have had this my ENTIRE life as my mom had it and stress or whatever and being bit again triggered it.

I have to write a personal history, bring all my testing and read some book by singleton.

I'm sooo excited. somebody believes me, well, besides ya'll.

he sounds sooooo nice.

so for any of you texans or other people out there, i will keep you posted on how i'm doing.

i can't believe this, his nurse said, "oh he wants to talk to you" and he got on the phone. i mean himself, the man, the doctor....

i'm so excited.....and it's soon too, not six months from now. june 16th at 2:45....

i can't wait....

did i tell you i was excited???

Oh praise the Lord, Randibear!!!! I am THRILLED for you!

I am encouraged now, that perhaps he won't blow ME off. I need to call, huh? lol

You sound kinda like me... I had an attached tick with rash in 2003, BUT after having read up on Lyme, I suspect I have had it at least since 1990, and quite possibly since birth.

I think the tick in '03 just sped things up... a lot. =(

What wonderful news!

You will find Dr. S's book a quick read. It has big print and is easy for even this neuro-Lymie to read.

After the year you have had it's about time something worked out well for you!

Can't wait to hear how it goes at your appointment. It will be here before you know it.

That is soooo excellent! Sounds like you are in the right hands!

How did you find this Dr W? How did you get their contact details?

I really need a Dr in the US to talk to my doctors here in Oz. Your case sounds like mine.

Go fight em! Bella xoxo

P.S. 16th June is my birthday, so it must be a lucky day for you!
