OT Actually, in some cases early infection requires IV antibiotics, which is what I meant. Or sometimes months of antibiotics. Often 30 days is not enough. Haven't gone back to read my messages but that's what I meant. The normal doses of orals did not do it. This is often the case these days, for many reasons, including co-infections, and more virulent strains. Keep it in mind in the years ahead. Your headaches are a warning sign to me, in a lyme endemic area. Also keep this in mind with friends. The doctor where I got hyperbaric, originally she was doing it for brain trauma but then chronic lyme paitents showed up at her door, and she learned all about it, and only after a year of treating them did she realize her entire family was infected--accounting for a wide variety of unrelated symptoms. IN her husband it only shows up as heart problems (in a young healthy male) that heart specialists would never have suspected tickborne infection as the cause of. Yes, they all tested positive, and yes, they all had lyme and coinfections. She shut down her practice to move west and get out of lymeland. She also told me that once she understood the infection, she began being able to diagnose friends and acquaintances, all of who didn't know they had it, and all of whom tested positive when they investigated it. I frequently do this for people too. One couple I know--since getting lyme, the young man suffers from depression with onset about that time, and the woman from interstitial cystitis. They both certainly still have lyme wreaking havoc with their systems. It's a protean infection, like syphilis. It can do major longterm damage. A researcher at Temple found lyme spirochetes in 9 out of 10 Alzheimer's brains that she dissected. The story will only emerge slowly in bits and pieces. Okay, I'm done...I did my good deed for all time :) even for those who don't appreciate it maybe someday they'll thank me
