C4a

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19140878

You might want to show this to your doctor.

as i understood and was told per Dr:
High C4a and high C3a = possible lyme

High C4a only = possible yeast and or mold and possible other things not mentioned much

High C4a after ABX = possible and likely Candida (yeast)

Current and past Candida antibody tests from a regular lab and any symptoms will help answer this.

...........But then that link above.......? "Patients with predominant musculoskeletal symptoms of Lyme disease have normal C3a and increased C4a levels. This pattern differs from the increase in both markers seen in acute Lyme disease, and C4a changes correlate with the response to therapy in chronic Lyme disease."

Still though, thinking candida. If you bloat after carbs and sugar, thats a good indictiation.

Did you see this one? It says :::: Although treatment of Lyme disease is associated with a fall in C4a, chronic elevations can occur, and this would appear to be the most likely cause in your patient.

So it isn't rare and has been seen before in lyme patients.

Please do not let it be an object of stress for you.

Im not stressin!!! Just curious because it even had my llmd stumped! Thanks for the info!!!!

Lyme is FAKE! Dont you believe what you read on internet?

I thought candida could cause numbness? I might be wrong.
