mild symptoms

My first symptoms had started last July and progressively got worse through October. They all pretty much had tapered off. I only have some minor joint pain and cracking and popping of joints all over. The worst is in the morning when I first get up, but then I feel much better after I get moving. My energy is back up to about 90%.

I thought maybe lyme was not a possibility until I received my Igenex results in January. I had an IND result and was not able to get my doctor to sign off on the epitope test. I have an appointment with an llmd, that I still am planning to see next month.

My question is, is this the waxing and waning people go through? Can things get that much better for over 4 months? I know people have lived with it for years and years and end up being misdiagnosed for fibro and such.

My husband is also being stubborn and thinking that we probably don't need to spend all that money to see an llmd if I feel this much better.

I got really sick in April 2015. But by August I was about 50% better (without any meds). I did not know I had Lyme at the time. In that time frame I did start eating much better (low gluten/sugar/etc) and taking supplements like B12, D, C. I was surprised that I got that much better on my own. So I think it is definitely possible. I also had an IND IGeneX western blot but did do the epitope test and it was positive. I also had a CD57 of 41 and high IGG titers for EBV, HHV-6 and Mycoplasma Pneum. Also, low Magnesium. All this together points to Lyme. My daughter just had a positive Lyme result so now I know that this couldn't be anything else. Plus some of my symptoms are getting better (using a hybrid approach of antibiotics and herbals).
