Dade Hi no they refuse to give any more antibiotics for lymes. When it's tested the health dept calls and asks if I'm being treated. It's really hard to sort out what's causing what as when the lymes was discovered it was the same time as the autoimmune hasimotos thyroiditis was diagnosed. I see an endo for that but it's been unstable for two years now and it had been stable for ll years. They say that lymes isn't just the disease itself but tics also transmit lots of other bacterium also. If I had money I'd pay to see the lymes literate doc here in Davidson NC as he has cured so many when there symptoms didn't go away. And if you've read about lymes the spirochettes hide in body organs and wait till defenses are down and then come out and attack another organ. It's such a complicated disease most docs don't know that Western Blot is the only accurate test for it and then they don't know how to read the bands. There are many bands and only a lyme's expert knows how to interpret them. By mouth doxycycline is supposed to be the best antibiotic especially if caught early. Many think it is confined to CT as lymes CT is where it originated and I'm from CT originally. But it's all over the world and all carry different bacteria. So as long winded as that was I agree how do you know if your anxiety or depression is caused by either of above as all have same symtoms. Chronic fatigue and Fibromyalgia also are caused by both and could mimic depression. I do wonder if that lymes news letter is still being run as I said Rose the lady that ran it died about two years ago from chronic lymes. So many go undiagnosed. I convinced once a poster From Washington state to get tested she did and was positive. And got treated. Love Phillipa
