I am back from the LLMD here in Boston. He said that according to the way I have been re-acting to the Tetra, that I am making slow but steady progress.
He said if there were nothing in my body at all re: bad germs, then the abx. would not be making me feel like this.
He also said the the Igenex test results show basically a neg (-) picture, but some bands also show exposure to lyme germs.
I will be taking the Tetra until late may, then go on Biaxin through the summer months.
He said no need for anymore tests now, but if I want to have them done, its up to me.
I am thinking of both Bowen and Igenex for testing for the WB. @nd time at Igenex.
Well, he said If i find somethign that makes me feel better, then use it, but otherwise I will continue to make progress!
He reminded me that this is a slow process and it wont resolve overnight.
Thanks,

Rob,
It sounds like you're on the right track. It does take time -- for me, a long time. But like you, Rob, I continue to take thse teeny tiny steps toward health.
Keep us posted.

Sounds like SOUND advice to me!
I am not a big tester either....I get tested about every one to two years depending on my sx.
I have hardly budged since my first WB--all my bands stay the same no matter what treatment I have had, am on or how I feel. All my LLMDs---I've had 4 of them all reitterate what your doc said about testing...you can if you want, but it might be wise to save your $$ for treatment.
Glad you have found a trustworthy doc! It will make a big difference in your progress. Posted by HEATHERKISS (Member # 6789) on :
Sounds like a great LLMD. Good for you.
Biaxin helped me alot. I hope it does wonders for you. Something toi look forward to.

Some good advise there. Yep, baby steps. It's a long road.
p.s. Your doctor is right. My husband was on high dose minocylcine-(a close cousin to tetra) for a non lyme problem. not a single recation . Nada. Just a walk in the park.
I took minio for lyme once and thought I was gonna die.
