I have been bitten by many tics (I was a hiker in the northeast and a childhood outdoors all the time).. never thought much of it other than getting the head out and move on with my day.. however my tests come up negative.. All the dr's ask about it, and when I tell them I have had possible exposure, they all just give this blank look like huh? and then don't know what to do..
From what I have researched chronic lyme is poorly understood.. but some Dr's believe that it is an autoimmune reaction chronically and actually IVIG is a treatment for it...
I am terrified of infections like C. Dif... When i got antibiotics I felt AWFUL in the hospital - everytime they hung up the vancomycin I felt like I was gonna kill over - which I hear can happen with lyme.. but I figured it was just how Vanc makes people feel, so didnt' think much of that either..
