In reply to Test for Lyme disease came positive ; (, posted by Jeroen on June 8, 2016, at 7:42:51
A positive test is awesome! The test is frequently inaccurate. To get a positive is actually a blessing, to actually know where the psych symptoms are coming from. How about cork screw shaped creatures drilling holes in your brain? That's what Lyme is.
The whole reason I ever became a psych patient in the first place is because of this statement from a doctor, "I'm happy to tell you your Lyme test is negative and you don't have Lyme disease....here is a recommendation for a psychiatrist for your depression".
That led to a 20+ year nightmare, suicidal, failed ECT, failed drugs, treatment resistant depression, anxiety, even some mild psychosis at times.
Eventually many years later - long story - it became evident that maybe I had Lyme instead of depression. That journey led to remission 3 years later.
All that suffering was caused by a doctor claiming I did not have Lyme.
Jereon you need 2 to 3 antibiotics at the same time for many months to get better. I doubt they will do that. I hope they do. In USA only LLMDs do that (Lyme Literate MDs). But you can get similar results with the right herbs. Get herbal books on Lyme and study them. Or if you can order some, ask, I will point you in the right direction, names, doses, everything.
