Hi! I am a 33 year old female...just diagnosed... These are my results and I'm interested in whether this is a "NEW" disease or has been around awhile. My symptoms have included itchy bumps/rashes for a few months...had a HUGE allergic reaction to an unknown source almost a year ago (had to go to the ER and had a follow up with all allergy tests negative), Major menstrual irregularity issues which aren't new, headaches, anxiety which isn't new either, neck pain, brain fog and low grade fever, kind of often. Lyme Quant IGM:2.01 INDEX 0.00-0.90 H Lyme AB IGM INTERP, EIA: Positive A P93 AB: Absent P66 AB: Absent P58 AB: Present A P45 AB: Absent P41 AB: Present A P39,30,28,23,18: Absent Lyme IGG WB Interp: Negative P41 AB: Present A P39 AB: Absent P23 AB:Present A Lyme IGM WB Interp: Positive A Anyone have any insight? Thanks so much in advance.

No. I figured I would look into that if the treatment doesn't work. I'm on Doxy 100 twice a day for 3 weeks. It doesn't seem strong/long enough??

Please do yourself a favor and find a LLMD.

When you get through the first course of treatment, do they test again? It sounds like the test wilkl be more "positive" afterwards so how do they know it's gone? Thanks and also, Where do I find a LLMD?

Sounds like classic Lyme.
I agree with seeking a LLMD to treat. You would be doing yourself a favor for the rest of your life.
You will get worse before getting better is the norm on treatment.
I would treat until symptoms resolve and then for as long as you and your LLMD agree is necessary based on his expertise.
