I'll look back through your posts and see why you suspected Lyme, since perhaps I should be looking for that too. I'll also look to see what tests I can have done, ideally one where I don't have to take so many antibiotics. But perhaps that's unavoidable.
Thanks again for updating us.

The clinic I'm going to is very experienced and open minded. I'm adding in a second antibiotic. They asked me if I was okay with that and also gave me an option to take a herbal instead of the second antibiotic. We are going to take this step by step. They are probably going to run some chemical exposure testing on me since I was a chemist for over 13 years. I'm very happy with this clinic. They take my insurance, are reasonably priced, and don't think every sick person who walks in the door has Lyme. While they are definitely "Lyme Literate", it's only one small part of what they do. A doctor that I saw here in Madison recommended them to me when she suspected that I might have Lyme disease.
When I get home from work, I will post more about my symptoms - especially the ones that I had prior to all my neuropathy issues. And if my situation resonances with anyone on this message board, then I'd gladly provide more details about it.
