Hi - After three months of symptoms, I've been diagnosed with a Lyme co-infection by an infectious disease doc.
My main symptom is tingling in hands and feet; some muscle twitching and sore joints.
He put me on three weeks of Doxy based on clinical evaluation and then had me do the bloodwork. It was then that the co-infection showed up positive.
He now wants me to give it 6-8 weeks to see if I get better before doing another round of antibiotics. Not sure that this is the best course or not. Not even sure he is LLMD. So, any help would be very much appreciated!
