As some one who had a very obvious case of Lyme 16 years ago, I know that this disease is not inocuous. That said, I feel I have a titer because I carry antibodies to Bb, just like I have antibodies to Rubella, Measles, Varicella, Hepatitis, Ditpheria, Tetanus, Polio etc. Diseases that I had or immunizations that I had. I don't believe my Lyme is active any more. I believe it did damage. Just like any infectious disease wreaks havoc on some people, Measles=deafness, Polio=post polio syndrome, etc.
At this time, I buy the autoimmune mimicry, by any other name. I think my immune system was damaged, along with my nervous system....oh, heck, all of me was damaged. So now I am stuck and whatever they end up diagnosing me with is just another name for molecular mimicry. I did do antibiotics twice for extended periods. The only other thing I didnt do was IV ones. I did not take Metronidazole for more than 2 weeks and I took a really minute dose...I was too scared of neuropathy from it....Ironic, that I already had PN, and didnt know it. I truly hope you can do something to stop the PN and fatigue. I do know how rotten you feel. I hope your case is acute enough and they can knock it out. My vet is more concerned about my dogs getting it, than my docs were when I got it. My vet says it is really serious.....maybe I should see him, lol.
