Hi All,
I have been searching some old posts and still don't understand this thing.

My new lyme doc decided to test me for chlamydia pneumonia and I had never hear dof it before. I am meeting with her on Thursday about the positive results.

Are there any specific questions that I should be asking? How do you know if it is an active case?

Feeling a bit overwhelmed....

cpnhelp.org - read everything several times.

Probably you can combine cpn protocol and lyme protocol ( doxy + azithro, later flagyl.)
If she is very modern you can copy her the Wheldon protocol.
Also high IGG is active for cpn.

See it positive, you can get better now.

A good test is this: http://www.focusdx.com/focus/1-reference_laboratory/search_frame.asp?searchOptionScope=2&S1=1&S2=1&test=&sp=23120&Keyword=chlamydia%20pneumonia#an_23120

I would be suspicious if IgA and IgG antibodies were quite high....

What were your test results that makes you think it was positive?

Best, Timaca
