Hello,
New to the website. I found it while researching info on Lyme.
Was diagnosed a week ago with a blood test at my doctors.
He said from the blood test they can tell that it is early stage?
I've been on antibiotics for a week now but not feeling much better yet. Flu like symptoms and I just feel drained,I've had this cough that I'm not sure it's lyme related or my allergies. Anyway,reading things online I am getting worried that my dr is not taking it too seriously? He prescribed two weeks of antibiotics but I keep reading that you should be on them for at least a month to be sure the issue has been dealt with properly.
I am thinking I should call my dr Monday and ask him about it and tell him I'm concerned.
I also wonder if I should check for a specialist in my state? I'm in PA.
I'm just concerned that my dr is taking it too lightly. He just called me bout the blood test,said he prescribed antibiotics and I should be fine after a couple of weeks and just to call if I'm still not feeling good.
I would think he should've at least wanted me tested after a couple of weeks to see how I am? Or awhile after?
I really appreciate any advice anyone can offer
