Just took my daughter (19) to an ID doc. I was armed with my information, and ready to walk out if he was going to give me trouble about treating maria. I have to say, I was pleasantly shocked how he took her condition very seriously. He ordered a slew of tests, (some lyme ones I didn't understand but he explained were better tests then what her nero and md took) and tested her b-12 and other vit. levels, tested her for other ID's, and is doing a fasting sugar test. He also recommended a dermatologist for her psorasis, (she has it bad) and is NOT opposed to longer term treatment for her lyme, but first wants to get a full picture of her health. He's been dealing with Lyme for 19 years, his own son had it. He has ppl come into his office to hook up to the IV's, (cause their insurance won't cover at home treatment)
I was very happy. Now we wait for her test results and see what he recommends.
Thanks to everyone!

HI Gina Marie:

This is good news to hear and ID doc is helpful with the disease.

I hope your daughter gets well soon.

Our daugher is also being treated for LB and Babs.

She has now been on Mepron and Zith for 11+ months and it seems the Babs symptoms are gone (they were still lingering at 8+ months).

LB symptoms have improved but still there. Lots of ups and downs with this.
