2 weeks is nothing! You need months and combination therapy. In fact, if you took 2 weeks and got worse than you likely have LYME. You need minimum 200mg doxy twice a day. Honestly, now more information is coming out from you. You mean he did you a favor and gave you 2 weeks just in case. How though...

If that is your doctors answer than you need to educate yourself. He likely gave you the Elisa test which is the most unreliable inaccurate test for lyme and MISSES 80%-90%. The guideline that neurologists use are the same as the IDSA. It says that first you give patient the Elisa test and if that i...

Did you do a Western Blot lyme test? or just the elisa?

Had to laugh for a second. In true MS neurologist fashion, they completely ignore testing for Lyme, CPN or any other infections. Not only that but it seems that there are now 2 new preferred misdiagnosis's commonly misdiagnosed along with MS. They are NMO (neuro myelitis optica) or I'm surprised you...

OR MORE CHILDREN ARE BEING MISDIAGNOSED. Lyme disease is an epidemic that doctors are completely ignoring. It's really sad.

Dont forget to check out Lyme, bartonella, Babesia, CPN and Mycoplasma Pn. Since the tests are inaccurate, it may be beneficial to try a month of antibiotics. Often its the reaction to the antibiotics that will provide the best diagnosis. Bartonella is known to infect the calves and shins among othe...

If you pick one of the CRABs, pick Copaxone and add the minocycline. Take a look at the research. The combination is better than Copaxone alone. This also covers you for infection so you get two for the price of one. Be prepared for a herxheimer reaction, which is good because its an indication of a...

shucks, do IVIG, this helps remyelinate. then do minocycline + copaxone, then add the rest of the wheldon protocol. It's tough but it works! Did your top rated neurologist even suggest testing for infections? like lyme, cpn, mycoplasma, babesia, bartonella? Lots of people are being misdiagnosed with...

Well I guess it would be better to just assume it's MS. Doing that will get you steroids and that will only make your probable infection worse.

Not to be repetitive but have you checked out neuroretinitis? Bartonella loves the eyes. Do a google search of Bartonella and neuroretinitis. It's very possible that you have an eye infection. Ask your doctor to treat your eye infection until it's better

Finally a smart person I hope. Do you know what treats shin bone fever? Let me tell you. Antibiotics- Zithromax + Doxy or Mino or Rifampin. or Bactrim DS + Zithromax. It's worth a try don't you think. The drugs have a very safe record and are the only drugs that have ever cured anything. MS=Lyme + B...

Do a google search on Shin Bone Fever and then you'll know what you have.

Matt, sorry to rusty for interrupting his thread. In order to understand Lyme, you need to know that Lyme testing is not reliable at all. In fact, the sickest patients with Lyme won't test positive because the tests are junk and the bacteria hide in the tissue so it's not detected in the blood. Furt...

Rusty, I believe MS is infection related. In particular I believe it to be the 3 B's. Babesia, Bartonella, and Borrelia (Lyme). Why do I believe this? Because in my hands right now I have blood test results with positive results from all of these tests. These tests are from someone in my family that...

Toni, Just trying to help. A misdiagnosis like that which has happened to my cousin will ruin not just you but your entire family. All I am saying is MS treatments are the complete opposite of Lyme treatment and since they are so similar it's important to be right. I don't want you to live thru what...
