Hi everyone. My name is D. I am looking for as much info as possible on tick borne illness. I was dx with Lyme last summer, after being dx with cellulitis, after getting a boil on the back of my knee and took antibiotics for over 90 days before I felt better. ( a few different types.) Living in Maine , you would think that the Dr here would know how to treat this infection.
anyway... I was dx this week with same thing.. after getting a new boil a week ago, on the buttocks / groin area. and getting the same dx as Lyme again. Dr said I was reinfected within the last 4 weeks.
I am having all the classic symptoms once again. ( including feeling like my brain is dyeing from this crap.) That has been on going for over the last year. I have been put on doxy for 21 days. I am scared that this is chronic.... I done lots of research on this terrible , debilitation illness. I am following Dr Marty Ross and his webinars.
Though I have a hard time concertinaing when reading this info. I have been taking notes to assist with memory. Thing to discuss with my PCP when I return to advocate for myself.
I have read that Lyme can go into cyst like forms during the treatment and do become active when your immune system is down. I feel that I need a long turn treatment antibiotic that will kills the cysts.
I will be starting herbal therapy after I am feeling better for long term benefits and getting my brain back through research and talking with various herbalist and treatment recommendations from Dr Ross.
Is It possible my Lyme never went away but went dormant through cysts?
I am a single Mother of an adopted 7 year old boy!! I need help! I figured where else would be better than here.. You all have so much knowledge and treatment experience.
Anything will help!!!
