It took me 13 months of suffering and many doctors and tests until I found a holistic dr who mentioned Lyme. After researching on my own and remembering a bullseye bite 7/10 I finally had an answer. Long story short......I did 6 weeks of doxy and my symptoms immediately came back after going off. Now I am 12 days into azithromycin and metronidazole and herxing like crazy! How do I know if I have confections?
I did igenex testing which showed negative with ++41 and several indeterminate? Pains have subsided but flu like symptoms with up and down burning keep me home bound.
I thank god it was 16 months from bite to diagnosis. In the Midwest so everyone was starting to think it was in my head.
Any advice for coinfection tests?

Hi Char De, 1st. thing you need to do is schedule an appointment with a (LLMD)-(Lyme Literate Medical Doctor).

On this site go to (Seeking a Doctor) - Ask for a doctors list in your City/State.
