So, my 3 weeks of doxy is just about to finish and i feel that there hasnt actually been any improvement in my symptoms after all.

Although there was initially some scabbing of the skin over some of the problem areas (my fingertips), these cleared up quite quickly without significance and now im worried now that perhaps my Lyme diagnoses was incorrect, and that the 2 positive test results i had were false positives.

I have another appointment with my doctor in 2 days time to discuss how the treatment went and im wondering what to do next. Should I push to continue the Doxycycline and see if i get any results from a longer trial, or should I ask to be retested, maybe with a broader test for other infections such as bartonella?

Could a positive test have actually indicated another type of infection other than Lyme disease?

Thanks
