Thanks cd3764. The doctor did not suggest the testing but my wife and I wanted to do it given the symptoms that I described above. The doctor's recommendation for four weeks of doxy is a reaction to...

Hi cd3764 - My son had a bullseye at the end of August. Took two Lab Corp tests very early that came up negative. A more literate Lyme doctor saw pictures of the bullseye, said that it is definitely...

Thanks girlie - the tests were the full IGeneX menu...cost $1,125. The first one is actually named Multiplex B Burgdorferi. The second one is HME panel (monocytic). Are those familiar?...

I have the IGeneX test results. My son was positive for: 1) Plasmid - B Burgdorferi (confirmed by southern dot blot) 2) E. chaffeensis IgG - 80 We started the four week doxy treatment on Friday for...

Thank you Girlie...this is incredibly helpful. I believe that we did not start with doxy since my son is 2 and while it is recommended for ehrlichia, it is better to use a milder antibiotic with...

Just got iGenX results back and my two year old is positive for Lyme and ehrlikia. Prior treatment of four weeks of cephtin and amoxycilin obviously did not cure him. Was infected about six months...

Thanks Girlie. I did what you...hopefully I did it right. With all the people on this board, we have to get a good recommendation....

Thank you Nosila. Do you know how long after the bite before your child received treatment? How long was the treatment? How long were the foot pain episodes? My son was twice when he woke up and they...

My 2-year showed a couple of strange symptoms over the holidays. Twice complaining about foot pain and being a bit moody (although what 2-year old is not moody). My entire family was sick with...

Thanks for the reply. He has been on liquid herbs for the immune system and probiotics since the antibiotics. My other kids are also sick with common stuff so I was not too worried about the croup....

Thanks for the response. Thank god, no other symptoms....

Thanks to this board and our doctor, my 2-year is now taking daily probiotics and immune system supplements as a follow up to his antibiotic treatment. I will never be overconfident but at least we...

A few months ago I came here worried about my 2-year with three bullseyes and a primary care physician that wasn't lyme literate. Thanks to the encouragement and pushing, I found a lyme literate...

Thanks everyone. I am taking my son to Chapelle's doctor on October 13. Hopefully, we will get the right help. I am a bit concerned about my son taking too many antibiotics as that also has side...

I am not sure who Chapelle is. The doctor was on a list from Traveler, which includes all LLMDs in NYS. Note that the doctor is a neurologist so I do not know if he is the best at diagnosis. I had...

I now have a third lyme specialist recommendation as our friends that are doctors asked their pediatrician, who recommended a specialist at Columbia university. If nothing else, I am rounding up...

Thank you everyone. All your posts are so helpful so please do not stop. The doctor is sure he is allergic to amoxicillin as his reactions were 100 percent textbook. We are happy that the discomfort...

Please provide recommendations for LLMD in NYC for 2-year old. We are very confused because he had bullseye rash in about 3 weeks ago and doctor gave him amoxicillin. He developed rashes and joint...
