After having symptoms for more than a year and a half
and just recently having a possitive test
I had some positive bands almost 3 years ago, but not enough to "have Lyme Disease"
I saw an infectious disease expert while having horrible herxing symptoms after being put on the antibiotics by my PCP
....he believes that because I never found a tick or had the bullseye rash and that the bands show that I have only had the disease for 4-6 weeks
the test was a false positive and I am simply depressed and having physical symptoms of that depression.
I'm desperate to find a doctor near Bridgeport CT that can help me.
My PCP is supportive of my test results, but even he thinks that I am in the accute phase
he can't explain why I have felt terrible for over a year now.
I'm at my wits end.....any info you could provide would be so greatly appreciated.

welcome jana; please check your profile above for my pm to you on CONN. llmds so sorry you've had to suffer for so long.
DO NOT GO TO INFECTIOUS DRS!! they undertreat up to 3 wks. max; and say you are CURED! NOPE, you are just headed to be a chronic lyme patient as you are now.
i sent you my welcome note earlier; glad you found seeking dr. forum ok! xox
