Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 A breakthru, these researchers used to belong to CHRONIC borelia does not exist. The current clincal view is that (and they are from the same resarchers) o you get a tick bite o you get an EM rash o you test positiv and over a certain level on test(WB is not used i sweden) o you get 14 days of oral doxycycline.(based on EM or ) o If you still have symptoms, you don't have borelia, you have something else.(someone else problem) Not all MD recognize a EM even today, 10 years ago alomost none did. One common test used in sweden looks for a flagel( what happens in CWD -forms?)

I don't know, in some parts like our vacation house every one has had borelia and some has had TBE. I used to have borelia as a summerflu. The dogs can get like 20 ticks a day. When testing borelia seroligi tests they use blodonors as controll groups 25-40% of them has antibodies. Chronic borelia as a diagnose used to exist in sweden, but has kind of being forgotten. Everone knows one or more persons that has some kind of undefined illness. If I make a guess I say 25%, based on that 18-25% of working force is on sickleave, it took me a loot of years to get to me current state. -- Per Sjöholm Stockholm, Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Per: Depressing to see such good research, but not being applied to the standard of care to the population, which looks highly infected from the number you site....
