Default The first potential cause for my symptoms was identified

I thought I'd give everyone an update on my situation.

If you don't know my backstory, see my posts on these threads:

I just got the call tonight that my Lyme test was positive. This shouldn't be a surprise for me, but I'm also a little shocked and emotional. It's been a long road of dealing with medical professionals that didn't know what was wrong with me and I even had one doctor tell me to get a therapist because he didn't believe my symptoms.

The test I took was the iSpot by Neuroscience. I had to take 6 weeks of antiobiotics before I took the test. I was also started on Low Dose Naltrexone at the same time. The burning in my feet had greatly reduced within 2 weeks of starting those drugs. I originally attributed the improvement to LDN alone, but perhaps it was the antibiotic given my positive Lyme test.

The clinic that I went to is very knowledgeable with Lyme and neuropathy. They are also going to look for other causes for my symptoms because it might be more than just Lyme disease. I did have some other tests that showed my inflammation is high, but it did not point to anything specific. I think I'm in pretty good hands.
