Lyme Disease Support Group

Im new to the board and have so many questions... I just feel compelled to reach out to someone who knows what I might be going through. My story is long, and I don't know where to start... and I don't even have a confirmed diagnosis-- this just seems to fit.

I have also been, I think by some divine intervention, been pursuing alternative treatment for my symptoms, which started when I became pregnant last May. Acupuncture and herbal remedies--awful tasting-- have given me almost an instant relief. But I still have symptoms and I am "reactive" on band 41 of a Quest ELISA-- I'm going to get the IgeneX tests soon.

I am just wondering what your thoughts are in doing antibiotics with these treatments? I may have had this infection for over 15 years... and if something can kill it so i don't have to worry about a relapse, I think I would like to do that, but antibiotic treatment seems so controversial. Why? I think i feel good knowing this may be what I have but I still, in knowing, don't feel I clearly know what to do next...

Have you seen Under our Skin?

That movie will answer a lot of your questions!
