My daughter tested heterozygous for this also. I need to get myself and my son tested. Did you do the testing through their regular pediatrician/family doctor?...
My dd had gut issues from the beginning. Her Lyme started with nausea and abdominal pain - a perpetual stomach ache basically. We started treatment right away and she's 3 weeks into treatment she...
Thanks. It's all so confusing. One thing I read says it's not anything to worry about or "treat" and 40% of the population has this, then the next thing I read says it should be treated, it's...
Anyone ? My dd is heterozygous (has one mutation from either me or her dad). What does this have to do with Lyme ? Should I get additional testing done for say heavy metals etc ? Is this a dominant...
Some of the lab work came back and my dd has positive for one (heterozygous) of the MTHFR C677T gene mutation as well as exposure to M. pneumonia (IGG) which just indicates exposure - not necessarily...
Thanks Silly Sheep. I have found a couple other forums where people have said the tindamax herx was pretty bad. Its even more complicated because we leave for OBX on Saturday too - so I don't really...
I think it has a lot to do with each individual person. Some people are more carb sensitive than others, some never fully get over the "keto flu" when they lower carbs. Some can tolerate certain...
My dd is on azithromicin and doxy. Doxy ends this Thursday she starts mino 2x a day and pulses tindamax on Saturday and Sunday 1x each day. I'm thinking she should take the tindamax at night so...
Did you have one? Did it get worse initially with antibiotics? My DD had it for a day - very prominent redness across cheeks just under her eyes about 2 weeks ago. She started abx last Wednesday pm...
Yes I would say you do have Lyme. 41 probably showed ++ because of your previous virus but not the other bands....
When did you start to herx? DD started abx night before last doxy 2x day and azith 1x day. Got sick about an hour after taking the two last night so not sure of how much she got into her system. Her...
I played field hockey too in HS! Although not being treated for Lyme. I would stick with it as long as possible and go to your coaches and explain the situation. It's possible you can continue to...
My daughter has just 41 positive on her western blot. Her ELISA was through the roof positive. Both of these were done just 2 weeks and 1 day after we removed the tick and I've heard that is too...
My daughter's LLMD said absolutely try to continue as much sports as possible. She said the more active your body is the harder it is for the pathogen to invade areas/deeper than it has. She just...
My daughter had the ELISA and WB done 2 weeks and 1 day after the tick was removed. ELISA came back positive. Anything over 1.10 was considered positive and she was at 1.59. WB came back reactive for...
I just recently made the decision to go with the dr that was randomly generated with not many online reviews. So far I love her. I called the pricier dr And felt like I as part of an assembly line....
Thank you to all those that commented and gave me advice/recommendations. I took my daughter to see a LL CNP today. We had a 45 phone conversation this morning then she offered to see my daughter...
I've received referrals for many LLMDs in my area and am running into many not taking new patients. Is this normal? is it because they are swamped with current Lyme's patients or more of a liability...
Thanks everyone . I do not have the test result so I can't say "how" she tested. The ped ordered the Elisa & western blot and my lab is Quest. So not sure if the Elisa was neg and they didn't do the...
I see many people on here had symptoms but didn't get a true + for a while. I have argued with the pediatrician that the standard ELISA/Western Blot isn't a diagnosis of +/- since the tick bite has...
New to this site. My daughter pulled a tiny tick off of her earlobe on 4/22. Developed a rash and looked like a puss filled area where the bite was. Rash spread a bit beyond a quarter sized around...
