A big thanks to this site and to all the members for all of your knowledge. It sure made me more at ease on my first LLMD appt. My new LLMD Dr is GREAT! He completely understood and explained all of my signs and symptoms. After a 3 1/2 hr appt (Cha-ching!) my dr is 99% sure I have Lyme & bart, possibly other co-infections. I had a local lab Lyme titer which showed Igg 23 present. He ordered a ton of blood work from my local lab, and the Igenex kit & a urine kit by mail (should get within a week). I did the local blood work today. I made the lab tech work for her pay today. She took 18 tubes of blood and had to use both arms, the first one stopped producing lol. Dr started me on B12 injections, after testing is all done (next week) I'll start on Folinic and a week later Probiotics until we get a confirmed diagnoses. Next appt in approx four weeks for results, diagnoses, and treatment plan. Thankfully I have a very supportive husband who will be attending all of my dr appts and a very loving and caring family. They are all very concerned and are getting educated as I am. The support I have from my family and this site sure makes it seem easier to get through. I'll update my status/diagnoses after my next appt. FYI Horowitz is my LLMD's mentor, how cool is that!
