Hello all, I'm new to the Lyme world and hopefully won't be around for long. However, that said, it would be amazing if someone could help me out with me Armin Labs tests results. It would also be amazing if you could provide any pointers in terms of treatment, I've researched quite extensively and it seems some of my age (22) and health otherwise will usually respond at least fairly well to antibiotics. That said, I really do just want to get better however, and am
open to options. I have a GP appointment tomorrow with quite a receptive and
open doctor, despite NHS rigour etc.
Just to say, symptoms began in May this year, but ,y tests were only in September (GPs thought it was psychosomatic / other physical etc.). I'll also add on some of my symptoms, to be honest they're quite extensive and have brought me from being a high-performing university student to someone with half my IQ of a few months before. Thanks for your help in advance!
From what I can tell, and clinically, it looks like I have Lyme, babesia, bartonella at the very least.
