I received my 10 yr old son's tests from Igenex

Congrats, Simela!! Your suspicions have been proven!! Now with a good LLMD, you should be able to get treatment for him!! He'll be on the mend soon!!

Do think about having him tested for the gene mutations that make it hard for us to detox, since he's had those seizures and I know that for some that meant they couldn't detox well enough. I'm not saying that's what's going on, but just in case. He's obviously a tough little guy!!

And the Nurse may have only been reading the CDC positive or negatives????

Looks positive to me and is that just a regular GP? Good luck with his treatment, hopefully he heals quickly.

Thanks, Trav.

I don't know much about gene mutations, except what I read on here sometimes. But I do not think he has problems detoxing as long as I use a detox agent. When he had seizures, I didn't think they were due to Lyme and Barto, so I didn't do any detox. Of course, the doctors didn't help because they were all telling me it's not Lyme. But if you remember, he has been 4+ months seizure free (since December 4th) :)

He is making some antibodies, or his tests wouldn't be +. So, I think the problem with seizures was lack of detox, rather than gene mutation. I am 90% sure that he has babesia as well. So, I think the seizures were because we didn't do any detox at all and he was loaded with most likely multiple bacteria toxins for over one year (he was bit in Fall, 2013).

It wasn't the nurse that called me from the LLMD office--it was the front desk receptionist. She is not a nurse.

Green: Yes, I think the LLMD will treat him for Lyme too.

Revive, Thanks! Not a GP, he will be treated by my former LLMD. THe LLMD ordered this tests and also already diagnosed him clinically with Barto and Lyme, but this LLMD doesn't treat Lyme without a positive test. He did treat me for Barto although I tested negative, since I was lyme+. So I think as long as he has a + test, he will treat for both.

Leilex: Thank you! How is your 10 year old doing? We are seeing the LLMD on the 22nd, so he will probably start abx then. Are you giving your son (or daughter?) anything in the mean time, before starting abx?

Thanks!

Thanks, Trav for the kind words and thank you so much for all your help. You are awesome :)

^^^Ditto!!!

Thank you for the kind words!

LMC and Trav:
I'd love to be your mom LOL :) I'd be honored to have such awesome daughters :)

Lol nope! Even I can't have an explanation for that one! I just thought we could use a laugh! It seems that this week a lot of posters are reporting not getting better and it makes me sad because they are working at it really hard (much harder than I ever did), not to mention the money they spend.

In my case it was money well-spent. I feel well.

LOL Yes, that sounds like a very legitimate explanation. I'll be your web mom LOL

Although... I'm sure you have a terrific mom already, since she raised you well--you turned out to be so awesome and caring, dedicating years of your life helping others :)

I didn't have a good relationship with my mom either. It got better over the years. But she made a lot of mistakes and I could forgive her for that. Only that she kept blaming me for it I couldn't forgive for a long time. THen I eventually forgave her but I couldn't forget... It ate me alive for decades... Now we have a good relationship. Not perfect but good--she helps me with the kids 2 days per month, sometimes more if she is not working a lot. She still have a full time job and she lives 2 hours away so it's tough. Maybe that's why we turned so great, Trav, we raised ourselves. LOL Don't worry, I'll be your web mom LOL

Simela, remember about false negatives, and as you know you need a visit and chat with the actual doctor, even though the fees are killing us!
