Hey Everyone,

Please take time to read this and respond to my questions. I am very sick, and I'm in Georgia.

No one knows anything here!

I have had symptoms of Lyme Disease for about a little over a year and I made the doctor test me for Lyme. my Lyme came up positive and my western blot did as well. What you should know is that I reside in Savannah, GA where no one knows about Lyme Disease, actually it took them this long to treat me. (I assume I got infected in Rhode Island, NJ, or NC where I was hiking.) I had gotten bit multiple times and did have a rash, but thought if it was Lyme it would be more prominent. I had all the symptoms except for facial paralysis.

Now, I am seeing an infectious disease doctor. I practically made him put me on antibiotics. (I was also one of his first cases of Lyme) I was on treatment for a month and a half and my doctor took me off saying that everything is gone, (he didn't test me again)

I know I need to stay on these longer, because I eventually started to feel better on the last days of my medicine. My symptoms are all all gradually creeping up on me again.

I am only 22 and I feel like I'm going to die.

My question for everyone is:

How long were you on doxycycline for?

Are inter venous drugs worth it?

Would most doctors argue that you should be on Antibiotics longer than 1-2 months?

If I need to be on longer what arguments should I give to the idiot.

Thank You

I appreciate anything you could answer for me.
