I'm really scared. I have to talk with the Infectious Disease MD office on Monday to get his western blot results and I really need to say the right things to get the RIGHT ACTIONS IN MOTION.

I feel like I'm racing against the clock.

1.What if the antibiotics I request (due to my lack of knowledge and my son's age) cause the LD to become resistant?


2. I tried the LLMD in Texas and she doesn't really do anything, but send them to a specialist. I NEED A LLMD that will ACT IMMIDIATELY!!! I'm broke, but willing to travel FAST to get a diagnosis QUICK and get a good plan in action.


3. I'm going to start researching "false positives" right now AND antibiotics to use. I'm vague on how to figure out what anitbiotics to choose. I wish I had a LLMD to help me.


4. What should I be pushing in his DIET?


5. What do you guys think about Chinese Medicine (accupuncture and herbs)?

False positives=virtually non-existent, I'm afraid. You've got
all your info correct at present--don't be swayed by IDSA/CDC propaganda.

I"ll send you the info of my WI LLMD who MAY be able to see you soon.
