Since i am new to this, can you have a coinfection and not have lymes?
If the tick tested positive for the coinfection Ehrlichiosis, does that mean you have that and not lymes. You have both?

I am seeing a LLMD tomorrow and i want to ask the right questions and not waste time on the wrong ones.

Thanks!

You can have JUST one or more of the coinfections but not Lyme, but the odds of that are so RIDICULOUSLY low that it's a pretty safe assumption that Lyme symptoms in the presence of a positive coinfection test = Lyme coinfection.
