Recently I got an pos WB for both IgG and IgM ( don't know which bands yet). Now, the 4 docs I have seen; an infectious disease, an neurologist, 2 GPs, all think that it is only because of my past diagnosis of Neuro borreliosis (in 92).
Now I am a bit confused. I have neurological symptoms to such a degree that I had to quit school. And I got a pos WB. BUT it seems like it doesn't matter because I had a few neg ELISAs.
It seems some LLMDs think that the WB is important if it is pos, especially if neurological symptoms are present. What should I believe!? And no, there are not really any LLMD's in Norway... I am trying to see if there are any in England.

Hi Siggy,
These ducks have brain fog!. Common sense factors are what I go by. (1) You had previous positive WB in 1992. Where you ever treated for lyme? (2) You currently came up positive on your lyme tests again. (3) You are having really bad neuro symptoms.
Try and find a LLMD ASAP. If you can't find LLMD, do a search on here for herbs and alternative medicine. Plenty of info.
I am not a doctor, this is just my opinion and it is not intended to be medical advice.
Good luck,
Sending you healing light,
Gael

What kind of neuro symptoms do you have that caused you to quit school?
I hope you are able to find an LLMD soon.
By the way, if the doctors don't think that it is lyme causing your symptoms then what does he/she think it is?

I was treated in 92 with 2 weeks of Penicillin IV. They thought that should be enough in those days.
My symptoms are,, in short
lack of consentration, hard to learn, forgetting how to do simple tasks, problems multi-tasking pain around left eye (nothing wrong with the eye), lost feeling of hunger, tingling in my arms and upper body, fatigue, moody (can burst into tears for no apparent reason) pain in left knee, hip and shoulder
I don�t have MS or a braintumor, and it didn�t seem like I had any neurological illness (i.e demylienating illness). They don�t know what it is.
I am trying to get hold of an LLMD in england. Hopefully that will work out.
