I know that I shouldn't be excited, but oddly enough I feel relieved that I finally have an answer why I haven't felt right for years.

Tested positive for Epstein-Barr Virus, Lyme Disease, Babesia, and Ehrlichia.

According to past/present medical history and bloodwork results, LLMD thinks that I probably have had these diseases for nearly 20 yrs.

Thanks to all on this website who have helped me and led me in the right direction leading to my diagnosis!

I will post my bands tomorrow

Yeah--we pretty much all felt like that when we got our diagnoses.

Anyway, though--congrats on having successfully taken the first step on the
road to healing!

Congratulations!

It's a great feeling to finally have your proof on paper. Now you know your enemies & can set about eliminating them.

It really seems weird that we're so happy to have positive tests for Tick-Borne Diseases. Those positive results justify the way we feel to the rest of the world.

If you had pulled out positive for Mycoplasma pneumonia too, I would have asked if you were hanging around in the Pine Barrens 20 years ago.

Though it IS possible that I may have picked that one up some other way.

Good luck with your treatment. I hope you can tackle this quickly. Remember to take your probiotics 2-3 hour away from your antibiotics.

Thanks again to all!

AliG---I have been in the pine barrens 20 yrs. ago when I used to do a lot of hunting and fishing!

Is that a hot spot for mycoplasma?

VERY COMMON reaction. No need to feel "weird!"
