When should we test again???

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Can anyone help me with this question.

If antibiotics stop you from making antibodies to Lyme. At what point is it

right to test again?

My daughter had a bunch of ear infection over the winter and was treated

with 4 different antibiotics.

Then in March we found she has heart block but her Lyme test through Quest

was negative 3 times over a three week period. Now she is on amoxicillin 3 X

a day for lyme and is on day 21 of treatment. We saw the LLMD and the plan

is to continue to treat for 6 to 9 months.

I really want to confirm that this is Lyme because the LLMD said that

extended antibiotic treatment can affect the growth plates in children

affecting their height.. So when is the right time to test again. If she is

still on antibiotics is it more likely that the test will be negative? I

plan on doing the IGenex test $$$ so I want to make sure I am doing it at

the optimal time.

Many thanks in advance,

JoAnn
