Purchased Lyme book, is that tick STILL ON ME? IN ME?

Hey it coulda been a chigger ,spider ,lice ,or even a mosquito...you caught this early you are the lucky one...trav had 40ys..i had anywhere from 12 to 20 yrs undiagnosed. ...my friend who looks at blood all day long days 9 of 10 people have spirochetes in them...it has to do with health before ,attitude and money. It only took christie of canada 320k and 4.5 yrs ..she had protomyzoa rhumatica ...i just found out i have toxoplasmosis. ..and dan bergy reminded me ..he cured his chrohns and has his wifes lyme in remission with a gb4000 plasma rife ...two incurable afflictions one machine ... i have measureable muscle loss and bad mri but i am still gunna rife all day .sweat ,sting with bees ,infuse some rocephin and silver and sting with bee venom ..and do it next week too..my 4 yo girl wouldnt have it any other way...take a breath ..it take 21 days for it to replicate ..bartonella babesia quicker but borrielia is slow ..like tuberculosis

Oh, good. I can sleep tonight. :) I'm sure I'd of felt something like a watermelon seed during my shampoos. :)

I'm so thankful it was caught early, but I also had pretty bad symptoms right away. I was feeling ill for a day or two (flu-like and body so sore, I described it as being hit by a truck). I was also running a fever. Unfortunately I was 65 miles away from home, helping my sister in ICU with her husband's heart attack. I could no longer ignore the symptoms when, more than the rash burning and bothering me, my neck was totally stiff/unmovable as well as my left shoulder and I was still running a fever but higher.

I was NOT smart in the Olympic National Park or Hoh Rainforest. For whatever reason, although I had it at the hotel, I didn't use bug spray that day. I wore shorts and a t-shirt. I ventured off paths to do my photography--it was just a terrible lapse of judgment and a lesson learned hard.

The "early vs. late" diagnosis is very varied in my studies--obviously much worse the longer it goes undiagnosed and I am so sorry for those of you who have had to jump through hoops. I'm reading stories of people who've been diagnosed early who went on to have issues as well. I can pray I don't fall into that category, but if there has ever been a "good time" to start a health "makeover" so to speak, now would be a good time with a very good incentive to do so. My doctor told me she expected my labs to come back normal, as the time was short, but when she called, it was very much a positive Lyme result.

I'll continue the 21 day course of Doxy but will also be seeing an Internist soon just to see if his opinion differs from my PCP. From what I'm reading here and in my book, 200 mg. a day for 21 days is not sufficient. I still have my rashes, although better. But my neck has a lingering soreness (not nearly what it was) as well as my upper back. I've been in the cool house most of the day, but the lightest activity made my face all red and flushed (that's new?). I still want to get my lab report tomorrow, just to keep in a file. And one day at a time is all I can do and I'll do it the way I do everything else--with a smile on my face, a heart full of gratitude and the promise of better tomorrows. Hugs! Will keep reading & posting...

The internist will say you are cured ...you need to find a lyme lyterate doc ..or treat yourself until every last symptom is gone ...get testing for bartonella ,errlichia ,babesia ..but do not trust them..i was negative by quest but was positive by darkfield microscopy
