Hello, Everyone.
I need advice. On Oct. 21, My IGG test results were negative, but my IGM showed positve. I was put on 2wks. dyox. and referred to Neurologist.
The Neuro admits that I definately have muscle weakness. He didn't seem to care about anything else. (I even brought in the symptom checklist).
When he told me to come back in 3wks. I asked if he could give me abx during the meantime. I was told 2wks. of dyox was all that was needed.
Anyhow, I go back to my regular doctor and she agrees to give me another 2wks of dyox.
When I told her that I had been doing some research, and believe I might have co-infections,and I wanted to be tested for them she told me there was no need that if I had any other type of infections it would show up in my blood work.
She wouldn't test me for co-infections, but wanted to re-test me for lyme. I told here that I was still taking abx. and she said it wouldn't affect the results. I know better.
I got a call 3days ago, confirming that I am now lyme free. I just laughed at them. Tell my body that I thought.
