Oh yeah. It's Lyme.

9. Don't beat yourself up!

I’m a nurse and when my western blot came back neg. I gave the idea up that that was my problem. It wasn’t until our two dogs began to be ravaged with many of the same kinds symptoms that the picture came together. Symptoms can be so wide and varied.

the western blot is still such a poor test only measuring antibody response..by the time I had my first western blot I was too sick to mount an antibody response. My body went into a autoimmune response instead.

The IV antibiotics helped me feel better within 2 weeks. I was just so far down that orals just weren’t going to do it.

Hang in there, don’t be afraid to take longer courses of drugs, or to find a DR. That will put you on longer courses of therapy. It’s a really tough bug to beat. I also utilized sauna and other natural therapies that helped my body rebound and recover.
