Lyme Disease | Forum profile

the blood test was sent to wales in England and they only tested for the boreillo virus(sorry spelt wrong) when we all know that tick carries thousands of viruses. to be honest the hospital did not want to send off for the test so i think they only paid for the cheapest going... Thank goodness for my GP his a wonderful man.. today is the first day i actually feel half human, just hope i don't go down hill fast when the antibiotics stops....

i had two change my prescription glasses 4 times in less than a year. i just found out that i have lyme. my question is will i get my old sight back or will my vision remain the same but not get worse. i am on doxy

Difficult to say but mine did improve after months of treatment. If I get tired I still have focus problems but last year everything looked blurry and dim....much improved this year, my eyeglass prescription from a year ago is still working just fine.

Where was your blood sent for testing? If not one of the Lyme testing labs (like Igenex) your results could be incorrect. But diagnosis isn't based on lab work for LD so good that your doc is starting treatment right away regardless of the results. Is he an LLMD? I think probably not because he would know that one month of abx is not enough. If he's open, you could bring him relevant information as to why abx needs to be continued...

Telvock, Thanks so much for responding! I have turned on my 'receive emails from members' but am not quite sure how to use it. Any names you could provide would be wonderful! Thanks again, Michelle
