Hi All.. Just joined.. I have had Lymes now for the last 7 years. Just wanted to say hello to all and hope to share experiences in the near furture.

Welcome Andy!
 

Welcome, Andy!

I'm new here as well. I'm realizing that it may take awhile for you to receive posts in reply as they are approved by moderators who can't be everywhere at once I imagine. I'm also not sure how many members there are here, yet. There's always email in a case of urgency! At least I think we're set up to email each other, though I haven't done it yet.

I, too, look forward to sharing good information as we all get back on the road to good health.

How did you find out you had Lyme disease? How long were you sick before you figured it out? Have you been tested for co-infections as well?

I've been having symptoms for over 20 years but seem to have been exposed to Lyme sometime in the last 10 years and in the past 4 years have been really sick and unable to work. I'm positive for Bb, Cpn, EBV, and HHV6 by blood test and possibly also bartonella, babesia, and erlichia by symptoms (negative on blood tests so far). I'm now in the process of trying to figure out which pathogens to go after first and then how to order the rest.

Take care,
Anka
