i was just trying to get some feedback from anyone sick for under a year that caught it early. From my time on this site it appears that many have been sick for a long time, and many a long time before being dx. i pulled a tick off in june, nine days later started treating and i am still treating. anyone else in this situation, i know we all are different in how this affects us but i am open to feedback.

I think that I was infected in July or August 2005. Never saw a tick or the bullseye rash. However, I was bitten on the foot by a green fly in July.
My two Elisa tests were negative. Had a Western Blot by Quest - positive on bands 39 & 41. Had 3 weeks of Doxy (100 mg 2X day). Right after that, I got strep throat and was put on Amoxocillin (875 mg 2x day for 10 days). I think the Amoxocillin worked better than the Doxy.
I have my first appointment with an LLMD on February 14, 2006. I know - it took that long to see one.
I felt like I was dying in August. But, now, I feel great. I still have some slight buzzing/vibration sensations and the muscle twitching.
I just want to see the LLMD to make sure everything will be okay and to get the Western Blot done at Igenex. I know that if Lyme goes untreated, it can get very, very BAD!!! Just read people's posts!
