Hi Everyone,
I had my first appointment with my LLND Dr.B today. It went well. I explained to him my story. He did a few minor tests on me and he said he does suspect Lyme & co-infection Babesia. Lyme - from the joint pain/fatigue and Babesia due to air hunger and some other asthma like symptoms I've had.
So every appointment is going to cost me and the Igenex Test testing for Lyme & Babesia will cost $590. The Doc prescribed me a 30 day supply of Amoxicillin. He said to start on antibiotics to prep me for the testing, it will help the antibodies show up more or something.
He also said he has a lot of success with Biophoton light therapy for Lyme & co-infections. It might be something I will look into later. For now I am going to start the antibiotics and see what happens. He told me I might get worse first.
So I still don't know if I really have an actual diagnosis yet. He said Lyme is a clinical diagnosis, so I am wondering if by giving me the antibiotics that it is a diagnosis? I should have asked him that. It was rather strange for me, as I have never been to a natural-path Doctor before, but overall it was a good experience. I hope I can start on the road to recovery. Just really not wanting to have to come up with the 500 for the test, if he is willing to treat me anyway, I guess it would be good to know though either way.
Thanks again to all the wonderful folks on this forum for getting me this far in this journey. All your advice and support has been much appreciated.
