Re: Staph (aureus) Infection on Head NOW LYMES? TOO I'm sorry i haven't checked back here in a while. I was so depressed I didn't leave the house for a bout 2 weeks. (well i Left a little, but that just gives you the idea) I couldnt bear to go to my volunteer job, avoided calling a lot of people etc.
I have been on 4 antibiotics
Keflex (i went off it for some reason I dont remember, either side effect or not working)
Doxycycline (gave me tingling in hands and feet)
Minocycline (made me dizzy)
(was there another? prescribed by the derm?)
I went off Doxy cuz of the tingling, but I also had an "impression" I should get tested for Lyme. I lobbied my Primary care doc to get the western blot and PCR tests. I called the company and they said to go off the doxy for a week before having my blood drawn for the test. Long story short, PART of the test came back positive.
The IgM showed positive for Lyme, but it could also be a false positive and it coudl be EBV, HSV, HepC or Syphillis according to the report. Oh lovely. I have tested pos for EBV about 15 years ago but just antibodies. at the time they said nothing to worry about.
So for now I am on 21 Days of AMOXYCYLLIN prescribed by PCP for the Lyme or whatever it is.
MY URINE HAS THESE BIG CLOUDS IN IT SOMETIMES TOO!!!
oh no. I've only noticed it in the last month.
but i also just recently went on a vegan diet, hoping to alkalinize my body |
