I ask myself what do ID doctors in New Zealand really know about Lyme. My daughter saw one in hospital the other day and he said that the Igenex results just say that she has some sort of infection and and that the bands could be reactive because of some other pathagen. Had to stand my ground and say that some of the bands she had marked are specific for Lyme. So now he feels that he needs to send her blood to Australia to be tested again. Even after he has seen the results for an acceditated lab. Don't expect the Australian Lab will find anything because they don't even believe that Lyme is in Australia.
The ID doctor would only give my daughter 2 weeks of IV antibiotics. So told him that that just wouldn't cut the mustard and told him what he could do with his 2 weeks of IV antibiotics. To say the least I was not happy.
Have to see him again in about 3 weeks when the Australian results will be back. Oh my god all I want is treatment for my little one, how do doctors sleep at night.
