Tested positive for lymes for many years have had rocephin through pic line and then about three years of three months on and three months off biaxin xl. Best med for lymes orally is doxycycline but even sunburned through car windows. So was switched. Still test positive always will it's worth a google as I've also had two spinal taps and MRI for it. The spirochetes as the organisims are called hide out in body tissues and if something triggers them they come out and cause problems. Intersting note is the Test still comes back postitive for me and always get notified by health dept. No one know where or when I got it as lived in CT till about 20 years ago and then moved to VA Beach and now NC. The disese is present all over the world in different variants. A new strain was found last year in NC. FDA is against treating chronic lymes as so expensive and also long antibiotic treatment are expensive and can also cause damage. If you get the thyroid tested you really need an endo who will test for autoimmune antibodies and every imaginable test affecting throid. Even Pituitary does. So I know how inconvenient it is but necessary to rule out all physical posibilities. Lots of people test false negative but not false positive for lymes. Seriously google it. Love Phillipa
