I'm interested in hearing peoples opinions about tests.
I'm one of the lucky folks who got the rash. I've been sick and not sick and sick and not sick.
Recently after a two year remission I've started having symptoms again. I'm not really sure what to do at this point. If it's lyme than I know I need to start getting treatment. Mostly it's been pretty mild symptoms so far- but the same old stuff that feels the same way- But is it possible it could be something else?
Any tests that any of you have felt where very relevent and could show something conclusive and helpful?
Should I just try to figure out what abx might work this time and get someone to prescribe? I've had luck with rociphin and with ketek -
i'm unsure and confused- same ol same ol. belle

Perhaps a cd 57 wll give you some idea about your immune status. DO you have an LLMD? I would call if you do, if not find oneon the seeking a doctor board. You need a doc that knows Lyme to evaluate you.

How long were you initially treated? Was the treatment given right away??
You need to find an LLMD right away to get proper treatment. I wouldn't put my health in the hands of someone who has no clue as to how to treat this disease.
I would suggest the Western Blot IgG and IgM from Igenex. www.igenex.com
