I thought that Lyme can cause cellulitis! Maybe it is the die-off as it's being attacked in the brain? Mino has good brain/nervous system penetration.
What does your LLMD say?
Feel better!

Cellulitis is most often caused by a staph or strep infection of the skin. And, a type of staph, MRSA, can also cause it.
I would think they would culture it to find out what antibiotic is effective against your particular infection.
I don't understand why they are doing an MRI for cellulitis.
