Karla's Lyme Disease Test Results

I hesitate to write this post, because the subject is so controversial, and I am not quite sure how to interpret my test results. According to the lab in CA(Igenex) where I sent my blood to be tested, they say that I am positive for Lyme. According to the criteria put out by the CDC and New York State, I am negative. I have all the symptoms and more, and I would really like to be treated for it. Jon's concern is that if I don't have it and I undergo a ton of antibiotic treatments, then the treatment could kill all the good bacteria in my stomach and body. I have reached a point where something needs to be done. I am sick of being sick. I am so tired everyday, my whole body screams at me EVERYDAY, I have sores on my arms, chest and face, I have no short term memory, trouble staying conscious, no appetite as well as many other symtoms, including not being able to produce enough milk for my baby. Very concerning.

There is a doctor here in Bountiful that can treat me, and I would like to see what he has to say. Getting an appointment with him will be tricky, but necessary to move on with my treatment. The bills for my treatment will be paid by another family member, which means more to me than I can express. So please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and I will do my best to update everyone on our progress. Of course I am open to hearing other thoughts as well.
