Brain Spect Image today

I'm having this done today at the request of my LLMD.  He said it "tells them a lot of information".  I should have asked what it would tell.

Can someone enlighten me please?

Thank you!

Indirectly, yes, that's the idea.  The drugs kill the bugs, and it's the bugs that cause the inflammation.  No bugs, no inflammation.

The test shows lack of 'perfusion', meaning areas where blood flow is reduced in your brain due to inflammation, such as that caused by ... Lyme.
