Hi Hkblau,
Welcome to our forum! I see you have met one of our wonderful members!!
It would do you and your daughter a world of good to learn as much as you can about
Lyme and the other tick-borne infections (TBI's). Knowledge is power and we must have that kind of power to beat these infections!
If you haven't yet, please read through our thread at the top of the forum titled,
"New to Lyme?...Start here!" as it's packed full of some really great info, as well as informative links!! We also have a really great search function on this site! If you were to enter the search term "rife", you may be surprised to find out how many posts there really are on the subject!
These really are very complex infections, baffling all kinds of doctors - even the specialists! The tests are only approximately 50% accurate, as they count on the immune response to work properly, and Lyme can and does suppress the immune response. With the symptoms that your daughter is experiencing, it sounds like she may have been infected for a while, so getting to a knowledgeable doc will be pretty important for her to heal -and the only way to know if you are dealing with a knowledgeable doc if for you to be educated about
these infections.
That's where we come in - we can help you find the answers you need a lot of the time, as we have such great and wonderful members here who just love to help others!! We can also help you understand what your daughter is going through, as we are infected with the same bacteria and have those crazy symptoms as well!!
We hope to get to know you better through your posts!
