After 587 days, we finally have a diagnosis...LYME disease.
Now what?
Well, the first step is in finding a doctor that knows how to treat Lyme disease. Our current doctor stated that he could help us and begin treatment, but our best interest would be to find a doctor that actually knows how to treat Lyme.
After searching and questioning...and praying...We have an appointment with a doctor that specializes in treating Lyme disease. This new doctor is 2hrs 45 min away, but well worth the drive. From what we have read online and the information that we talked about with other Lyme patients is that treatments vary and most are long-term. The longer that you have had the disease, the longer the treatment will take...which involves mixes of antibiotics in different forms: oral, IV, & even injections. On top of that, special diets and supplements that help your body to recover from the high doses of antibiotics.
Kami has been dealing with an active infection for 587 days. Her test results show that this infection is throughout her body and she has a severe case. What does this mean?...we do not know for sure.
Please pray with us as we have our first appointment with the Lyme disease doctor on June 6th.!
