Disappointed

try fish doxycycline safe for humans, can order online from pet supply. take 200 mg to 400 mg 2x a day.. if you suspect lyme.. and doctor will not treat. Remember to take acidophilus , probiotics for tummy issue doxy causes.. I am not a doctor,, but I do have Chronic Lyme.. and if I had all the symptoms for Lyme ( as I do) and still was getting negative test ( which I did for years) I would have gone this route. best of luck.. you know Lyme mimics MS.. they thougth I had that too.. maybe,, lets do a spinal tap.. still will not know if it is MS.. after the tap.. but it might tell us something.. glad I said no to that idea..

My blood test for lyme was done in canada, whichever local lab they send it to and was negative. This was mid june. in mid july i went to a holistic clinic in germany and using an alternative diagnostic machine called the quint station i was positive for borrelia. thats when everything just made sense because my symptoms started the day i came home from a fishing trip in northern ontario. this clinic stand by their techniques 100 % as they have been practicing for 30+ years but the problem is that a conventional doctor will not go byy this and need to see positive lab results to prescribe abx. The reason the neuro thinks i have primary proigressive ms is because of the progression of my symptoms.when he first saw me in june i was virtually fine other than slight loss of sensation in my fingertips and on/off blurry vision. sinse then i have digressed drastically and have great difficulty walking. need assistance and just got a wheelchair for longer distances. this along with mri results showing white matter lesions in my brain and inflammation in the spine is how this guy came to primary progressive ms. I have not had tests done at igenex. luckily my family has found a practitioner who works out of his home and has a small stock of ceftriaxone injections and can probably get more. I had my first shot yesterday and i can already feel a slight improvement.

In response to bars idea of ordering fish antibiotics...I reprimanded my husband for using them but they worked. Also- I'm in the same boat as you, I believe I have had lyme suppressed or dormant in my system for a few years and now its coming out. Symptoms aren't terrible but my dr. wants me to get all of these other test since lyme was negative. What a waste of time, I know whats wrong with me. Also, if you had MS antibiotics wouldn't help (I don't believe). The antibiotics appear to be helping me so I don't understand why they want me to get all of these other tests...unfortunately my insurance doesn't recognize lyme disease unless your test comes back + so I will have to pay for everything out of pocket, but at this point its worth it.
