Hi NTLegend,

Thanks for your reply.

To answer your questions.

1. Yes, I was sick in the time following my HIV scare. HOWEVER, I have been tested past the window period and according to numerous doctors it really shouldn’t have been a factor for me anyway. Apparently, I spent a lot of time freaking out about a very very low risk encounter. So I’ve pretty much ruled that out.

As for me personally, nothing was happening before this. And that goes for physically problems as well as mental ones. That’s what sucks so much. At this time last year I was worrying about my senior prom…now I’m wondering if I’m going to be able to walk correctly next year.

As for being athletic…not too much. At least nothing that would bring me in constant contact with pesticides.

Geography- I live in Rhode Island, but go to school in Syracuse. I had a Lyme test awhile ago, but am thinking about having another one to be sure. I’m also trying to find a lyme specialist.

As for meds,

I took Ceftin for a week but stopped because it gave me a rash. Then I started taking Doxycycline. However, initially, I didn’t see any problems with the doxy. I was put on Gabapentin for my neuro issues but haven’t taken it in 4 days and I don’t really notice a difference.

I don’t eat like any seasfood.

Thanks for your help thu sfar.
