Thanks for all your thoughts, Healthgirl.

I'm not sure that his Lyme literate individual necessarily treats with antibiotics, so she seems to be different than most Lyme literate physicians who will pump you full of antibiotics for years on end. She also doesn't use the Igenex test either.

That being said, I'm open to antibiotics for a short period of time only. I've been trying to sift through all the medical literature on Lyme disease. My background is not in microbiology so I find it difficult to understand the validation on some of the testing.

Lyme is such a complicated topic. The CDC is not the end all be all source of information. They have really done a poor job. And the Lyme literate docs think everything thing is Lyme disease. The truth is likely somewhere in between those two extremes.
