I was diagnosed with Lyme on 07/04/08 (from labs drawn on 6/30/08) after screening positive at 1.40, bands 23 and 41 reactive. SED rate 32. Treatedwith 4 weeks of Ceftin, referred to Rheumy #1 when not improved.

Rheumy drew more labs on 7/25/08 that showed increasing Lyme screening positive at 3.11, bands 23 and 41 still reactive. Those labs also showed babesia reactive at 1:20.

Referred to Rheumy #2 (#1 was complete, frightening and uneducated quack). #2 advised more labs. Results returned today by Rheumy over phone. She states SED rate still slightly elevated at 22, but Babesia is now NEGATIVE. She feels original Babesia was formerly borderline and NOT positive. Probably a testing error. Lyme screen still very positive( unsure of numbers) as well as IgM positive.

I am hoping to get appt with LLMD, but in the meantime, I am feeling awful. Rheumy #2 wants to treat with 2 weeks of Doxy.

Any advice?

Avalon,

to avoid confusion, it would be dandy if you could delete this post.

sometimes, when posting, if the connection is slow, it double posts.

thanks.
