I have been fighting symptoms off and on (mostly on) for the past 8 years. I never thought about Lyme disease till I got menegitis earlier this year.
My daily symptoms are still painful neck, headaches and fatigue.
I also frequently have heart palpitations, IBS, depression, anxiety, bladder issues, and lightheaded.
I have done 2 tests. The Western Blot which was negative but at the time knew nothing of lyme testing and it was done by a regular lab who didn't test for all the bands.
I also had an IgG test done by a lab called Neurolmmunolgy. That came back normal except for Borrelia afzelii.
The score was 1.9 and less thank 1.6 is considered normal.
I understand that is a strain from Europe. I was in Europe backpacking for a month about 6 months before my symptoms started.
I have not been able to find a LLD in Colorado.
I feel like I am on the right track after all these years but am not sure and obviously need a doctor to help determine if I do have Lyme and if so what the treatment will be.
Any help with an LLD referral in Colorado would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mark
