That site is Mayo Clinic. They aren't lyme literate...so wouldn't even take it as good information anyway. I'm not surprised with what the Neurologist said. I won't say I'm sorry though because you...
Thanks, I don’t smoke drink or do any recreation drugs but I did try cbd oil for anxiety last year but didn’t feel relief at all, But have been thinking about trying it again for my neck pain. I take...
https://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/test-catalog/Clinical+and+Interpretive/9535 I was just looking at the aspect of igm being positive early, soon after bite. Neurologist was another dead end. My...
I found this info - Interpretation IgM: IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi may be detectable within 1 to 2 weeks following the tick bite; they usually peak during the third to sixth week after...
Thanks! Just to clarify, I had an igm 23 positive about 2.5 weeks after the bite. Is that unusual timing for that bite? I don’t fully understand the timing for testing. It’s been 4 weeks now. I had...
I have a neurologist appointment tomorrow and I am going to question heavily about Lyme. My husband is taking a half day so we are going to call around once we are out of that appointment. Today my...
Forgot to add, my Pcp said the band could be false positive from another tick born bacteria. Does anyone know if that is accurate? (Will llmd test for those things as well?) pcp said she might...
I just think it’s the timing of having a bite, and then experiencing all this 10 days later. If it’s not lyme, it still seems like something in the tickbite triggered something to happen. I’ve always...
i will call a few tomorrow to discuss payment options. Neurologist is Friday and I don’t have a babysitter until then, maybe one can squeeze me in Friday after that. Thanks everyone. It is so...
So I saw my pcp today to get a referral for a neurologist and ID. I see neurologist on Friday. Today I have significant strange feelings in my left arm. As expexted, the pcp did not believe lyme...
Thank you, I know everyone’s experiences are different. I definitely have hours of the day that are better and worse. I feel like there is a presence in my head, it’s like pressure. It basically...
Thank you, I watch my son all day and my husband is away for work, hopefully after sons bedtime I can do some more research on llmds!...
I have state Medicaid insurance and am trying to find an llmd currently. Need to save some money first :(...
Was that experienced soon after being bitten? I think the lack of fever is even throwing me off a bit. Thank you...
Another question for anyone still there! I called my dr to ask about possibly retesting lyme because I’m concerned about one positive band (anyone knows if false positive is common for specific band...
Hi, I’m sorry I know these ‘could it be’ posts are probably frustrating. I just don’t know where I should turn for help at this point. I posted in the lyme forum because this could be lyme, or...
Thank you all for the info! I will try to process everything and look it all over tomorrow. I have one last question- would it be unusual or consistent with Lyme for my symptoms which are mainly,...
Two quick questions- is there’s any significance to the fact that 3.5 weeks later there’s is still a ‘mark’ where I was bitten? Not a rash, but you can still clearly see the spot I was bitten even...
Is there any way I can avoid a false diagnosis? I’m worried it will present as something else neurological, can things like MS be ruled out in any way? (No lesions seen in CT of head and cervical...
I’m outside Philly in NJ...
Thank you! I want to cry.. I feel so relieved that it might not be ‘all in my head.’ If you look at me, you’d think I’m making it up if you didn’t know. Can I do anything right now that can help...
Hi, I’m sorry, I didn’t have time to search all over the forum but browsed the start here post. I am hoping for a little info that might help me narrow down if it could be Lyme and where I should...
