Lyme Disease?? Lab Results please help

Hi Limitpusher - welcome!

Those results are positive for Lyme disease.

If I were you - I would find a Lyme Literate Dr and schedule an appt.
I don't know what Polycythemia Ruba is - but I do know that Lyme and coinfections can be responsible for many other issues in our bodies. We are often diagnosed as having autoimmune diseases (RA, Lupus, Sjogrens..etc), Fibromyalgia, MS....etc etc . when it's actually Lyme disease.

We can help you find a LLMD - start a new thread: "Looking for LLMD in/near_____" and fill in the blank with your location.
You can send me an email and I may have some options for you as well.

We do encourage our new members to look through the information in the thread: "New to Lyme?...Start Here!"

Thank you guys. My wellness Dr. said she thought I had a secondary infection to the blood cancer, PV. Seems like both the Epsteins Barr Virus and the Lymes Disease came back as positive in her tests. PV is too many RBC, WBC, Hematacrit, and Hemoglobin (or at least those were the levels that caused Drs to do a gene mutation test called JAK2 (which I came out positive for). Many of the same symptoms as Lymes, are also seen in PV. I tested negative for RA and Lupus.

What kinds of treatments do they have for Lymes? who knows if this came from a Tick bite in my teens in California, or more suspect to my wellness Dr is actually mosquito bites in Thailand and Southern Mexico. Go figure.

Interesting. about the different treatments for Lymes. My wellness dr discussed no more antibiotics till we figured out what was wrong. Now we know, hopefully she will give me a game plan when she gets back from vacation. She marrys Western Medicine, with Natural Hollistic and Eastern medicine, I will share with everyone what steps she takes me on to recovery. As to the PV I go the 29th for a treatment plan will also share when I get it. FYI A friend of mine worked with a retired cancer research Dr. when his daughter got diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer at age 14. She was given 3 months to live, she is now just graduating college. This Dr said about my EBV and Lymes: Try to find a phycisian who will employ IV hydrogen peroxide, or blood ozonation or IV colloidal Silver if that's not possible use oral oil of oregano for a few months...

As promised, what too late, the protocol we are starting with:
1. Lyme is Positive but just the IgG Panel indicating is an old or Chronic Lyme. Dr. Ho would like to prescribe Doxycycline 100 mg to treat it and recommends to retest using Fry Labs (please let me know which pharmacy you would like to use).

2. Your thyroid is not balance. Dr. Ho recommends to take a thyroid supplement.

3. C-Reactive Protein is high indicating inflammation.

4. Vitamin D is very low.

5. Dr. Ho recommends to take the following supplements to treat the conditions mentioned above:

Vibrant Chelate Aids in the body’s removal of heavy metal toxins such as lead and mercury. 2 capsules, twice/day. (will help with Lyme residue in your body)

It is a sad state of affairs. This "we don't have Lyme here" crap that doctors are asserting. There are only a handful of states that are considered "endemic" Outside of those states they have a much higher threshold for counting cases for epidemiological purposes. It also seems to be more difficult to find doctors willing to treat tick borne illness outside of the northeastern US.

Kudos on the healthy dietary adjustments.

How has the 3 months of Doxy fared for you so far? If you haven't improved/responded to the treatment, I would ask your doctor about changing it up. Often it seems, that tick bites can give you more than just Borrelia, but other pathogens that may respond better to other anti-microbials.

good luck and ask any questions!
