Wow, I got the news I've been waiting for today. I saw my LLMD to get the results of my labwork that was sent to IGeneX last month. I definitely have Lyme Disease and the doctor also said I have Babesiosis. He also believes that based on my symptoms, I have a few of the other co-infections as well.

He started me on a 30-day cycle of Doxy and said that this is the easiest part. He said that when I go see him next month, treatment will become more aggressive. They've extended my temporary disability for another 3 months so I can get the treatments to work for me. They said they'll reevaluate then to see when I'll be fit to work again.

Thank you so much to all of you who sent me information on the doctors in NJ. I am really happy with the LLMD I have and I owe it all to you for recommending some to me.

I'll be posting more often. Smile
