My mom was put on steroids for 6 weeks at high doses. (I know - ugh....).
She is finally going to be getting Lyme testing done and I'm wondering how long after stopping steroids should the test be done?

I did. They said at least 3 weeks, but....she's going on vacation so she can have it done either right at 3 weeks or when she gets back which will be approx 5 weeks.

I was told 8 weeks before testing could be done.
Steroids were what made my clinical dx Lyme really bad! To the point my non-LLMD started me on Minocin.
