http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/news-article.aspx?storyid=136508 This is a good story about a Dr. in Florida that is trying to prove that the Borellia that causes Lyme does exist in the Lone Star...

This makes me so mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Wow! This is great news!...
Sojourner/Gracie's Mom, I will write them on a day that my lyme fog allows!!! I know several people in the Houston support group that have had also bad experiences at the Baylor. I will pass this...

I had the same problem with Doxy. I brought it up to llmd I was seeing at the time and she said that it only suppose to cause teeth discoloration in kids and she kept me on Doxy. However, I believe...
2Long4this, My Doctor really does not have any other ideas. He wants to give the abx another few months and if there is no improvement he wants to send me to a diagnostic clinic near where I live....
LupnerRN, I do not think I have any Coinfections. I have been tested many times. Also my sysptoms are not really consistent with any coinfections....
2Long, To answer your question they don't know if it is permanent. My LLMD is a little puzzled because at this point he thinks I should have had greater improvement. I would say I have had only about...
I Can completely relate to your symptoms. My number 1 symptom is brain fog. I agree the term brain fog does not even come close to how awful this feels. I just tell everyone it feels like my brain...
Thanks for the responses. I have an appointment next week with my LLMD. It sounds like I could use a change in my abx....
I have reached my 1 year mark of being on abx. It has been a long time since I have seen any improvement and am starting to get discouraged. Has anyone seen any significant improvement past the one...
I have read that you can not take these two together (the cancel each other out). Does anyone know anything about this? I am currently taking Doxy, Flagyl and Zithro. Thanks....
Just a heads up about what BCBS will cover. I also have BCBS and they cover 60% out of network labs for me but here is the kicker. They cover 60% of what they feel is a reasonable rate for those...
I will also agree that she cares about helping people with Lyme. She is also seems to be the most knowledgeable of the Doctors I have seen. Ultimately that is the most important. I also travel a long...
Hi, I have been seeing Dr. F since March of 2008. I also have mixed feeling about her. I know she has tons of experience treating Lyme. I will say that some of my frustration comes from how poorly...
Since the beginning I have had a majority of my symptoms cycle. Really bad in the AM and generally better by bedtime. My face pales when I feel the worst and looks fine when I am feeling better. If I...
Hi Ticker, As far as I know I do not had Ehrlichiosis. I have tested neg. for it twice. I am not sure how accurate the testing for it is....
Thanks ktp812! It is helpful to know that I am not the only one with this issue. It seems like it is going to be impossible to get over this disease if I have to keep getting pulled off abx. I guess...
I am getting differing opions from Doctors. How low does your WBC count have to to before they take you off ABX? My count is 2.7. My local Dr. said it is fine but every time my white count dips below...
