Hi everyone,

I printed out Dr B's guidlines, and am going to check off all my symptoms, plus add in additional symptoms.

I am being treated by a LLMD for quite sometime, and still not better, did improve, but also got worse, such as EMF sensitive. I have had

lyme for 17 years, just started to treat 3 years ago. Denied IV here in Canada, so back to LLMD to see what he says.

Saw Internist and so far everything is normal.
SO, the question here is about Dr B's comments about his guidlines, and may be a big help to me.

He states this on page 9 of his symptom checklist. It is right after... Check List Of Current Symptoms..

Quote..."This is not meant to be used as a diagnostic Scheme, but is provided to streamline the office interview. note the Format-complaints referable to specific organ systems and specific co-infections are clustered to clarify

diagnoses and to better display multisystem involvement."

Does anyone know what infection comes first with the list of symptoms? This would help me.

My brain is not working well, so please let me know what he means by this.
Here is the site.

Page 9 of this, it says this.

thanks,

Trish

Hi Trish

What he is saying is that -

These are Some of the Symptoms of Lyme Babs ect--

These symptoms Do Not have Happen All at Once-
or in Any Order--
Some people dont get certian symptoms

Also that symptoms Can and Will change
threw time --

Also the list is Not Complete --

-----------------------------------------
My doc has a similar symptoms list
for paitents to fill out--

3 yrs ago I had almost every symptom--
each one was rated a 9 or 10--(BAD)

Now my scores are ones and Zeros--Good---

I got bit in 1986 -- Lyme and Babs--
Very Sick--

I did get sicker threw treatment--
then I Mostly got Better--

Takes time tho - No Fun --

If I can stay feeling as good as I have
for the last while --It was worth it--

You Can Get Well--Jay--

thanks.

What I thought it meant was that the fierst 12 or so symptoms meants lyme, then the next 5 meant bartonella,

I thought they were in clumps, the questions refering to ONE particular infection.

Like the first 12 symptoms were lyme, the next 5 were bartonella, the next were babesia, something like this.

thanks,

Trish

Health,

The symptoms are grouped by organ system -- for example all heart symptoms together and all gastrointestinal symptoms together.

Within each group the symptoms are grouped by infection -- however there is lots of overlap between infections and personally I would not be able to pinpoint the specific symptoms of babs for example except for the obvious ones like air hunger and feeling off balance or however it was described.
