Hi! Haven't been on here in a number of years, was treated almost 10 years ago but still having some issues time and again, flaring up big time now! Also my father has been bit many many times this summer, went to walk in, they told him they wouldnt test for Lyme until 6 weeks post last bite, now he is showing clear signs of tick borne illness and I want to steer him in the right direction. Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome back to Lymenet!
You both need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and his new one, "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Also "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
