I'm 47, female, and had my first Lyme dx over 10 years ago.
There was the tell-tale tick still on me complete with bullseye rash.
I had antibiotic treatment. They said I was ok.
I had the immunization.
Since then I have tested positive 3 more times. No tick. No rash.
Just the familiar crushing fatigue that drove me in to the Dr.
I believe that at least 2 of these have been recurrences. But, who knows.
One time I also tested positive for erlichiosis.
I just retested after completing antibiotic therapy for my 4th positive testing.
I'm still reactive on band 41.
I'm really tired of always being tired, and never feeling truly well and tests turning me away from further treatment because the interpretation of the results reads that I am fine.
I'm not fine. I need to see someone who might actually know what's going on with Lyme.
Problem is, I do not have the money to go to a Dr. who does not accept insurance.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks for being here.
