Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 After many years of seeing Drs I finally saw an LLMD Infectious Disease Dr that has started to treat me for Lyme. Is being treated the same as being diagnosed? I am on 30 days of Minocycline. I'm only 2 days into treatment. I have many questions for you all. My biggest concern is if I passed this to my kids. I was neg for all bands on the Western blot by the Dr says I should still be treated because my EOS % was 14 and my clinical symptoms. The WB is only pos with the symptoms of lyme arthritis which I don't have. He said to test the kids if they present symptoms. The thing is if they are tested with the western blot then it would be neg on them if it is neg on me right? Wouldn't we have the same strand? I don't want to just put them on 30 days of antibiotics if I don't have to. I know I was bitten by a tick in Virginia 14 years ago and give 14 days of tetracycline because the bite was red and swollen. After the birth of my second son three years ago is when symptoms started like crazy. In I have had carpel tunnel, pins and needles in my legs, constant twitching, migraines, floaters in my eyes, vertigo, unexplained tachycardia, restless leg and my son has delayed milestones. I'm only 30. Before he was born I also suffered a miscarriage. Thank you for your help. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
