I just pulled off a deer tick and now I'm not sure what to do. Do I take it in to be tested? Do I go right on the antibiotics? I don't have a ring yet... Advice please....

My LLMD would start treating with doxycycline, 400 mg daily. Call your LLMD immediately. -------------------- sixgoofykids.blogspot.com

Send it in and get it tested ASAP! Make sure the lab can test for coinfections like babesia and bartonella, etc. This will give your LLMD a big advantage in diagnosing what, if any, infection you might have. Also, it will go a long way towards convincing everyone (like insurance companies) that you have tick borne infection symptoms. It's great that you got it. Good luck! James
