So here are the results-
CD8-/CD57 + Lymphs -- LOW 1.8
CD57-- LOW 40
Then it says some of my immune cells are too high, some too low indicating Mold or Virus. We are going to worry about that later only if we have to.
Chlamydia Pneumoniae IgG--- 1:152 HIGH, Positive
Mycoplasma IgG/IgM--- 520 HIGH, Positive
Bartonella Henselae IgG/IgM--- 40 Postive
Babesia-- Negative. He said this result doesn't mean anything and if my symptoms start reflecting Babesia he will treat it anyway.
My Lyme Titer is very NEGATIVE. But my Western Blot says this---
Igenex- Negative
CDC- Negative
FOR IgM

58 kda + I didnt feel like writing all the ones that didnt react.
My Sinus swab grew a LARGE amount of Staph Coag Negative Methicillin Resistant and it shows all the drugs its resistant to.
My treatment plan is huge. He said my the chlamydia and bartonella 18 months to 3 years. He thinks I'm closer to 3 years, doesn't want to get my hopes up.
I literally have a paper bag FULL of herbs and supplements. For antibiotics hes starting me on a low dose of Rifampin and Zithromycin. He said he is in the camp of doctors that doesn't believe in making his patients have huge die off reactions. He said it might take longer to get well, but its worth it. He stressed that herxing is NOT good for you and it needs to be avoided. He said there is no way of getting around it, but hopefully I'll spend more days out of bed than in. He said the next 30 days will probably be hard and I will be very sick, but after that hopefully I will start feeling better and continue to do so. He expressed the likelihood of me needing IV antibiotics. But that won't be in my immediate future.
So, one day at a time. One medicine at a time. One dollar at a time. He won't be taking my insurance for very much longer :( I'll figure it out though, I have to get better somehow. Im very happy to know without a doubt that there is something physically wrong with me, I'm not just crazy. The relief hasn't really hit me yet, I'm feeling mostly overwhelmed and scared. It's better to know that to be guessing like I have been the last 4 years.
He said that if my Fiance were to get a test done, he would test more positive than me becuase of sexual transmission. He said that it's only a few bugs that get passed on, unlike a tick bite that passes millions and millions. He said that people don't usually get sick from sexual transmission because its such a little amount the immune system can deal with it. He said my son should be fine, but there is a tincture we can give him and if it makes him sick then he has it bad enough to get treated. He urged us not to do anything unless he was actually sick. He says he doesnt like to treat kids under 7 if he doesn't have to. Im happy with that for now.
Thank you all for your support and guidance. Time to take a couple handfuls of pills powders and liquids then get to the pharmacy for my antibiotics. What fun!
