HELP!!! need info/advice

Hey all

I posted here a while ago, when I had a , I believe, Western Blot test, where they test you for different bands of the Lyme disease thing. And well I tested boderline by CDC standards and positive by the Labs standards. (it was the good lab, but i forget their name). Anyway, they decided to do the Bicillian and Rocephin shots, but that test came back normal where you pee in cup 2nd 4th, and whatever days.

So anyways, I got better for a while, and now some symptoms are back and really bothering me again.

One is the shaky, weak feeling inside, like i have low blood sugar. And I still have dizzy, disequilibrium problems. I am hypo and on 90mg Armour. They just uped the armour dose so I don't think it's related there.

I was just curious if Lyme could still be a possibility for me..

Thanks
Scott

Yes, your symptoms could be related to Lyme. Do you have any other symotoms?

No Lyme test is 100% accurate, so that is why you should see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor. They can treat you without a positive test.

Armpit pain is another symptom, had a ton of eye floaters pop up when all this started. stiff neck sometimes, shaky weak feeling inside like low blood sugar, disequilibrium, orginally some pricky hot skin feelings, (but I have hypothyroid), and so on.

the best test is igenex labs in california. i understand they run about 98-99% accuracy. if you have 39 and 41 plus one other band, you've hit the jackpot -- lyme!!
