Lyme disease and high blood calcium levels?

Hi Wasdrs!!
Welcome to our forum!!! I am so sorry that you have a need to be here, but I am sure glad you found us!!! I'm sure that you will find that we are a caring and helpful bunch of people, and we really can understand what you are living with - because almost always, you will find someone else here trying to deal with the same symptoms.

I actually have had the opposite problem - until a recent bone density test told me that my ostoepenia had actually reversed. I do deal with adrenal fatigue & have started a Homeopathic treatment for it just a few weeks ago.

Doxy is actually a good abx to start on if your tick bite was recent. Here is a link for info about Doxy from the thread at the top of this forum "New to Lyme? Start here" - www.ehow.com/how_2165217_avoid-doxycycline-side-effects.html

It would be very beneficial for you to read through that thread I mentioned - it's stuffed full of some good info!!

Are you seeing a Lyme Literate MD (LLMD)??? This will be the biggest help you can give yourself! Trying to educate a doc (especially an unwilling doc) is not something that is easy to do while you yourself need treatment.

The next thing I would heartily suggest is to read all that you can get your hands on about these tick-borne illnesses. As many have found out, we need to be our own health advocates!!

Oop- also be sure to get a copy of all of your tests for your own records!! Take pictures of all rashes -include something like a penny or a dime so that whoever looks at those photos will have an understanding of the size of the rash.

I do hope this helps some!
Hang in there!!
May you find peace along your journey to health.

Thank you both for your responses. I originally went to the doctors because of headaches, body aches, and fatigue. When they ran my blood they tested me for Lyme disease. I was completely shocked to find out I have this disease. I don't recall any rash, etc, but my symptoms started about two to three months ago. I called to verify these test results and doc said two of three bands were there so def positive. I really hope meeds take away body aches and headaches.

The more I read the more I understand just how serious this disease is. What is incomprehensible to me is the lack of definitive treatment-curability-testing etc. Aftertaking the recommended antibiotics how do you know if the treatment worked-why isn't there more information?

Thanks traveler-just frustrated!

Am looking over blood tests. Tested positive for igm band 23 and 41-Lyme ab screen 2.07. I have an appointment with an infectious disease doctor for more testing etc. Am looking for some more clarity in these test results-any help would be greatly appreciated.
