Yep, I'd say yes too. Go with what your LLMD says.

That WB looks familiar...not much different than mine back in May-08.

Definitely get treated! Those "IND's" may turn into +'s later once you're on abx.

This is from Dr C's WB explanation:

Band 39: Unknown what this antigen is, but based on research at the National Institute of Health (NIH), other Borrelia (such as Borrelia recurrentis that causes relapsing fever), do not even have the genetics to code for the 39 kDa antigen, much less produce it. It is the most specific antibody for borreliosis of all.


Band 83: This is the DNA or genetic material of Borrelia burgdorferi. It is the same thing as the 93, based upon the medical literature. But laboratories vary in assigning significance to the 83 versus the 93.

Band 93: The DNA or genetic material of Borrelia burgdorferi.


++++++++++++++++++++++

These are very important bands to be IND on!! And you have others that are important as well. Be sure to read Dr C's explanation. Read what he says about the IND.

That doesn't seem like a strong enough dose. Did your LLMD say for how long? Are you to ramp up? Is this all your taking?



Theralac is my favorite probiotic too.

Yes 100mg is just to start,then we wil be ramping up.
I have never been able to take antibiotics without feeling like i'm going crazy,so low dose is probably in my best interest anyway.

I started on 100mg 2 x a day.

Glad I did.

Major herx for over 5 weeks.

Then my LLMD bumped me up to 300mg (weighed about 110lbs at the time).

Another couple of weeks of herxing.

Hugs,

Geneal

Ah yes, that makes much more sense to me

Single antibiotics and low doses just worry me these days. I guess, I'm paranoid.

As far as negative for coinfections,are those results any accurate?
