Hello, I was on antibiotics for over two years and have been off for about six weeks. During treatment my CD57 never increased. It usually stuck around the 20's.
I am concerned about a relapse. I feel pretty good now, but I do have some brain fog and blurred vision occassionally.
I am considering buying a rife machine. Has anyone seen an increase in their CD57 after rifing?
I know CD57 are a little controversial and the numbers may never increase for me.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Why would you have brain fog and blurred vision? Maybe you still need treatment?
I am not a LLMD, but I would be concerned if this was me, what do they say about it? Why do you have this?
Is it lingering lyme? or coinfection? I thought you were supposed to treat until all symptoms were gone. What are they saying
these symptoms are? I am on a 2nd wind, and have some strenght now to persist with this disease, I am not better, but am going after it, fully
for some reason, I have a 2nd wind to fight. or keep at it.
SO, i would be concerned with why you have these 2 remaining symptoms, what the LLMD/'s are saying they are, why are they not gone?
AS for the CD-57, I was a 128, and am sick, I also was told another had a high score like me and is on IV for lyme. I had treated for over a year and still not well, and had 128 on CD-57.

Hello, Yes, my continued blurred vision and brain fog are a concern to both me and my LLNP. It could be Lyme or a co-infection, and I may need further treatment. It could be yeast from all these years of antibiotics. Who knows at this point. I think going off of antibiotics is part of how we try to find out.
I have also heard over and over treat until you are symptom free. The only problem I have with that is that the people I know who treated Lyme with antibiotics and who are now highly functioning individuals continue to have some slight symptoms such as brain fog and blurred vision. None of them are completely symptom free, yet they hold down full time jobs and lead busy lives.
If you or someone you know has had late stage Lyme, successfully treated it with antibiotics, and now has absolutely no symptoms, please let us know. You could be an inspiration to us all.
