I have been sick for 2.5 months now and forced my primary doc to help with a lyme test. I got a positive IGENEX test for lyme on immunoblot IGG this week. Below bands were positive/intermediate:
23
30
39
41
45
58
So at least have confirmation of what is ailing me. I'm left with more questions than answers at this point and am struggling to find a LLMD in my area (Texas). My primary care doc has me on a 3 week round of cefuroxime which I view as a shot in the dark. I have also just done a blood test for babesia (labcorp) but no results yet (I'm aware this test is also a shot in the dark). The following are my core symptoms: aches/chills, anxiety/depression, mild heart rate increase and air hunger. Have also had a few mini panic attacks, mild nausea, and an increase in deja vu.
I have a million questions, but in the meantime of me finding a LLMD, I wanted to see what approach might make sense given my situation. Am I right to think babesia could be likely here vs bartonella given my symptoms? Do my bands tell anything specific? My understanding is cefuroxime doesn't work for babesia so would need to switch meds to attack that.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
