thanks everyone - I will be going to another facility in about 2 weeks, but they don't take insurance... out of network never pays you back like an in network facility, but they are the leading authority here. they'll do the other blood tests because they don't have to fight with insurance companies... I have to pay, but I would pay through my current doc too... he just won't order it. period. plus they will test for the co-infections that are commonly associated with Lyme, come back positive with any and I'm good to go, and they will lean more toward the other clinical symptoms too and are likely to allow me to have the first month of antibiotics... if I get a positive test or positive response to the treatment, then we'll know... nowadays, it's longer than a month to really recover, a huge percentage of people only recover 90% with one month tx. the last 10% can take as much as a year! mostly battling the co-infections that like to linger...
and thank you ron, I do have my labs, and my calcium is 8.9 - but all issues must be looked at closely. I know how serious that condition is, my prayers for your wife and for you and the family have been and will continue to be said!
My thoughts are with you... I'm at year eight of battling a blind sickness..... On doctor number 4 and 5 and I think I'm finally getting answers from them.... My symptoms are many but range from a continuos infection in my mucosa and stomach.....
