Hello Kate,
Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I can certainly understand, as I 'm in the same position. Just a thought, but have you considered a yeast infection? My LLMD always says that when someone is doing well on their treatment and then suddenly starts to decline, a yeast infection is most often the cause. That is exactly what's happening to me at the moment! I'm now treating for yeast. Unfortunately, a yeast infection has similar symptoms to Lyme, including dizziness, brain fog etc and because your body is producing too much cytokines, the underlying lyme symptoms seem accentuated.
I'm sure you can test for a Candida overgrowth, but Dr. diagnosed me through my symptoms.
Hope you feel better soon!
