I have been on doxy for two weeks and have not had a western blot test yet. Seeing LLMD as soon as I can get in on cancellation list. My primary put me on doxy and tested; No antibodies detected Results suggested if "symptology is suggestive of Lyme re-test in 2-4 weeks". I am going to take the doxy for another week, I still have symptoms and assume that I will after another week. Should I wait to have the western blot until I am off this dose of doxy? Will it effect my results if I take the test while on the doxy?

To get an abx-evoked positive test, it's best to go OFF the abx for 10-14 days, then test again. Hope it works for you!!! -------------------- --Lymetutu-- Opinions, not medical advice!
