tested positive for lyme but neg for coininfections. yet it seems my symptoms seem to point to bart.
my llmd put me on cedax. on for a week now and have had some great days and some not so great in the week.
symptoms are brain fog feeling, mild foot pain, mild constant anxiety, sleeping trouble(waking up in the middle of the night with anxiety)heavy eye feelings, QUESY STOMACH FEELING alot, some small joint mild pain.
also have developed 2 rashes in the same locations over the last 2 months. he said it looked like it coulod be a lyme rash though not the bulls eye.
my llmd has a very good rep (dr. s from nj) and i am not questioning his treatment but just wondering what anyone thinks.
my coinfection were done at igenex and mdl labs.
my igenex results for lyme were IGM 18++ 30++ 34++ 41+ 58++ IGG 39+ 41++

hi robo,
glad you got that positive test. thats one big step.
i too tested negative for co's but did have the foot pain near the end of treatment.
we treated it for a short while with rifampin after the lyme appeared to be gone. it worked.
the fact that you have an LLMD is wonderful, good for you!
has he recommended good probiotics, immune and vitamin supplements as well?
good luck with your treatment! Posted by robfar (Member # 20250) on :
thanks gem i am taking 4 acidoph.s every day(the refrigerated ones with 5 billion in each. you think i should take more?
also vit. c, fish oil, b12, zinc etc..
i have such periods of good and bad. even for hours at a clip.
the quesy stomach and anxiety is pretty tough.
my sleep has become such an issue as i have never had a problem with sleeping before. now i wake up at 2-3 in the am anxious.
also have a slightly swollen lymph node under my left arm pit.(same thing happened 15 years ago when i had lyme)
