It's confusing for sure as I consider myself free of lymes but the dumb health dept differs just because of a Western Blot as was told I'd always test positive and so far can't find anything to dispel this on goggle. Kind of anger's me as I'd put it to rest so to speak til that doc here a rheumatologist insisted on another Western Blot. The first doc to find it was a pdoc that found it with routine testing. Then sent to the head of infection control and a rheumatologist who worked together. I never wanted all the treatment it just was something else to worry about. They claimed since from CT that I must have gotten it there. ANA at the time was 1:2800 or something. Ruled out MS with MRI and lymes in cerebral spinal fluid with two spinal taps. Did I ask for this treatment or seek it out no it was thrown at me as had gone to hospital for a med adjustment. Kept me over a month and fought a bill with two insurances at the time of over 60 some odd thousand dollars. As far as I'm concerned to much MSRA and Flesh eating bacteria and even kids earaches that no longer respond to antibiotics to even want to find a lymes doc. So never planned to and am not. Let the docs figure lyme's out the economy is a worse worry to me. Phillipa ps thanks seldom guess my frustration is showing hence why I don't like seeing doctors.
