Thanks everyone for helping me start this journey of advocating for myself. I am having another spinal this week. My question is will it pick up Bartonella (PCR) if I am on ABX, on day 11 of iv. Today another mri-a of brain.


My headaches/neck pain is still with me, although I think they have receded a little. Still working on a llmd. Thank You Everyone!

Cynthia,

Chances are your spinal will reveal nothing...
and will give your neurologist more fuel for not diagnosing lyme disease.

An mri of your brain may detect lesions however a spect or pet scan for blood circulation to the various parts of the brain may be most useful.

sorry....zman
