Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi, my name is Tom. I live in Kansas City and was diagnosed with Lyme last year. The first 8 months of my illness, I thought I had CFIDS or something like it as I had a sudden onset with flu-like symptoms that only worsened. I was tested for lyme 3 times, but tests were always negative, until I visited Dr. Carol Ann Ryser. She used a serial dilution test and a buffy coat smear test from a research lab in Florida and it was then I discovered that I had both babesiosis and traditional lyme. I have been taking zithromax with mepron for about 6 months to treat the babesiosis, then I switched to zith with tindazole for treatment of the lymes. Next month she wants me to switch again to clindamycin and quinine. This will be over a year on different types of treatment. Is this typical? Will this every go away completely? I feel much better now, but still get easily fatigued and am afraid to return to work as it is physical and might cause a relapse. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
