CAN ANYTHING ELSE CAUSE THESE TEST RESULTS? I HAVE EBV AND A COUPLE OF HERPES STRAINS. I WANT TO BE REASONABLY SURE BEFORE I TAKE IV ANTIBIOTICS.

Welcome noggin!

Looks like you have Lyme and several coinfections!

Hope you get treatment soon.

Good luck!!!

I agree with Tincup EBV and HHP6 are common infections linked to Lyme besides babesia,bartonella, etc

A polyspecific tick-borne infection is the only thing it could be with results like those.

Can you consult with a LLMD? That is the best thing to do. Your tests certainly do suggest lyme.

If you doctor is not a LLMD, is he ILADS educated? You deserve to have a doctor who is truly educated in this area. A good LLMD will also assess for you for other tick-borne infections and some other chronic stealth infections as you mentioned (HHV-6; EBV).

A good LLMD will know how to sort this out &/or how to treat simultaneously. A good LLMD will also know how to differential "psychiatric" symptoms from neurological symptoms that can be caused by toxic infections.

Good luck.
