I agree with bcb. I heard/read somewhere that lyme patients typically have CD-57 of below 60.

You are cured Feelfit!!!!!! Congratulations. Now I know where you've been. Kidding. I wonder if heavy metals are an issue? You've paid no focus to that, right?

I actually don't put much faith in the CD57 test! Many LLMDs don't even use this test......for some reason.
Treat according to your symptoms and not according to some test.

also, what about parasites. Prescription meds are the way to go on these buggers. They play a big role in keeping us down.
But, I also agree, you still have co-infections. My second CD-57 jumped to 125. I was feeling a lot better, but still sick. I know it's co infections. And, I can tell by symptoms whether it is lyme. If my memory is slipping, it's lyme.

For the record, my CD-57 at the start of treatment was 84. I'm "high" for a lymie (above 60), but still below the "Normal" 200.
I know that some docs don't like this test. Dr. B does so I am with him.
