...and it also doesn't mean you shouldn't see one. If you are armed with the right information and ask questions, they may be quite useful. If there is one thing I know it's that with complicated...
All great points. My thinking here is that I want to experience an ID doc myself so perhaps I'll arrive at the same conclusion you do. Armed with this information, I'll be able to have an intellegent...
Are you confident that ALL infectious disease doctors operate this way or just the ones you've seen? If I am going to kick this thing, and I will... I want to hear from everyone and do not want to...
Ticked Off! and anyone else... I did find one that accepts insurance. I haven't seen him yet but have an appointment on Tuesday. I'd be happy to share the name with you - he is in Sharon, CT and is...
Thanks for that. I'll continue to use Doxy of course, was just curious. I am still in search of a Lyme literate doctor. One that accepts insurance that is....
I am wondering if there is an antibiotic that is just as effective as Doxycyline but allows me to be in the sun? If so, what are the pros and cons of such an antibiotic? Also, as someone new with...
Thanks Traveler- didn't know about the name thing, sorry! Thanks for the post as well - I really appreciate it. I have cut down on training until I can reduce the symptoms in my leg. I am also...
Ticks- do you need them to be covered by insurance? If so, I haven't found anyone yet. The one office I called that would accept an adult would charge about $200 for blood work then about $600+ for...
Why does that not sound good? Seriously though, does having "more positive" results like this mean anything long term? What should I take from this? Hoping to find a LLMD in CT still......
Thanks springs... but what does "very positive" mean? I am still trying to get a grasp on what these results mean. I am getting the fealing that while exercise is good for me, marathon training might...
I guess my question is whether I should continue to run. While it does feel ok when I run, it seems to worsen the day or two after the run. For instance, I did 11 miles on Sunday... and today it...
Just wondering if anyone knew of some in CT? Peferably between Southbury and Wethersfield. Also - I've entered my 2nd week of antibiotics (200 mg Doxy daily, I know it's low) and my leg is still...
Thanks to everyone that is replying about this. Like most of you, I'll simply listen to my body. I am going to continue my training but knock down the running days per week from 5 to 4. I did an 11...
Thank you for that. Just a little background... I caught mine very early. Just under a month from when I had a bite. All symptoms were in my right leg (numbness, swelling, cramping, general muscle...
So I am wondering if the Doxy dose is related to how sensitive someone might be to sunlight. I am on a low dose (100 mg x 2 daily). Would this mean I am less sensitive? Doxy aside, I am middle of the...
Hi everyone. Feels so wierd being on this forum. Never thought I'd be part of a Lyme disease forum. Perhaps I am minimizing this by not accepting it just yet. Anyway, I am an avid runner. I was...
