I never thought about that until when I read this thread.. I mean i was ILL - green, and soooooo nauseated and just felt AWFUL.. body ached.. I just thought that was a normal reaction to vancomycin.. as I said earlier, I've had many many tick bites, as I grew up outside and spent most of my 20's outside in new england hiking! What were your lyme symptoms initially? Did you test positive on the standard western blot?? I know they always teach dr's treat primary lime so it doesnt' turn into chronic, which is the "great imitator".. but they don't really teach them HOW to treat it..
