Thank you! Went to see LLMD

It's been a long time since I posted. I had to take care of my husband since his surgery, but I want to let you know that I don't I would have ever seen an LLMD or gotten any of the proper help if it wasn't for this board. Thank you Thank you!
I am getting tested by Igenex and I will not have my results for a month. I am also getting tested for Bartonella, Babedisis, and Erlichiosis. Has anyone here had these concurrently with Lyme disease? The LLMD said that my bullseyes rash is a diagnosis within itself and I going to start my antibiotic therapy today. Now I can get off plaquenil! He said that plaquenil has helped me for now, but in the near future I will find myself in pain again. He is also giving me more test for RA too. I am also getting tested for mercury.

Your new dr sounds like s/he is on the ball -- that's wonderful news.
I was diagnosed with Lyme and Babesiosis initially -- the Babesiosis was treated first, and then we started on the Lyme alone. I don't know if that is the way all LLMDs approach things.
Please do keep us posted -- best wishes!!
Ask the doc if you should treat the co-infections first and then the Lyme.
That's what I read is the proper sequence.
You're more likely to have the co-infections too if you live in certain parts of the country and it seems like Babs is more prevalent in older generations.

But yes, I am getting tested for Babesia, Bartonella, and Erlichiosis and some other Bebesia type illness. It will still be weeks before I get my results so I am on antibiotics now.
