I looked back at some tests done back in fall 2006 and found they showed:

antibodies detected for erlichia canis
antibodies detected for rickettsia pox
equivocal for lyme

my symptoms are severe, meningitis-like, severe pain in spine, multi-organ system symptoms.
I am assuming the first one is erlichiosis which is pretty serious on its own, and i think the second one is rocky mountain spotted fever which is bad too.

this is a bad combination, no wonder i am so sick

i am on rifampin 600mg, doxy 300mg, and biaxin 500mg. i hope this is enough to hit it with

I cant believe that a$$hole infectious disease duck did not treat me for anything with those results. i am thinking maybe he did not get these tests from my other dr.
