Update #2: Got a couple results back today

[happybird]

I tested positive for antibodies for Lyme disease on the preliminary screening (ELISA). Doc is still waiting on the Western Blot results, but has started me on doxycycline. My symptoms all fall under the umbrella of Lyme so, even though the ELISA test is notoriously inaccurate, there’s still a very good chance I am actually have Lyme.

Lupus test came back negative. My CBC was all normal.

He ordered 7 or 8 different tests, those are the ones that already came back. The RA inflammation related stuff should be in by Wednesday.

Edit: forgot to add that the blood draw yesterday was quick! She got it out of my hand on the first try. Yay for the Black Cherry Propel packets I put in water and drank all day Tuesday and Wednesday.

1. Sounds like you are in good hands.

They didn't give my wife a long enough course of antibiotics.
