MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

Does anyone know or can anyone explain what "aggressive treatment" would be for bart & babesia?

I go to my LLMD for the 1st time on Thurs. and I want to be sure my treatment is aggressive enough. Reason being in my search for a Dr. I spoke to one who told me my Dr. doesn't treat for confections, but when I called them I was told they do treat for them.

The Dr's office that told me the Dr. I am seeing doesn't treat for them also told me it cost like $2000.00 a month for like 3 or 4 months to treat for the co infections.

The Dr. I am seeing isn't sure how they treat or why it would cost so much. I am just not sure what is "ENOUGH" treatment.

I am not worried about the money IF that is my only real option, but I also don't want to spend that if it isn't necessary.

go to top of SUPPORT forum to sticky pins, look for my welcome letter.

after finding it, go below dr. burrascano's lyme treatment guidelines to next one.

print OFF MEDS/DOSAGES FOR KIDS/ADULTS; that's what he recommends and i broke it up making it easier to read.

i think that is everything you need Wink
