Mon. Morn. Spent the moning going throgh the Lyme discussions and found some useful sites. When I went down a list of reoccurnce symptoms there were many parallels. When I see the DR. on Thurs. I will bring a list for her so I don'tr seem so irradict. Maybe all wil go well and I can feel better soon!!! The best synopsis.Haven't been able to resolve my PSI matters. Tammy needs to call me back. Still wondering what to say or what the best explanation would be.

Hi HonestGuy, welcome! When Lyme disease is a possibility, it is very important to see a knowledgeable doctor. Many doctors do not understand Lyme and treat with outdated protocols. No test is completely reliable, and results can vary by lab. Lyme needs continuous, aggressive treatment. Besides Lyme, ticks can also transmit several co-infections including Babesiosis, two types of Ehrlichiosis (HME & HGE), Bartonella, and Mycoplasma. It is estimated that 60% of people who have Lyme are co-infected. It may affect treatment choice and progress. It is important to be tested for these by a Lyme reputable lab such as IgeneX in Palo Alto, CA.
There are a couple of Lyme doctors in NJ who come highly recommended. If you would like their names, send me a private message or email me at ko_@bellsouth.net
I would love to see a specialist but unfortuanetly I am limited to the medical treatment I can recieve. My insurance, Medicare, probably won\'t cover your suggestions. I am greatly appreciative for your concern. You are a tremndous asset to the Lymes community and humankind. Thank you!
Bless, HG
Welcome to the Lyme community!
I am sure that you have read about all of the misdiagnosis Lymies have recieved. Good luck on uncovering the truth. Be your own advocate (and if you can bring a friend along it helps stay on track because they can make sure that you do not become so overwhelmed that ou do not get your list of questions/concerns answered and they can help remember answers if that is an issue for you.)
