Reading this kinda' late, but watched a video of a presentation by a very well respected doctor in the lyme community. He said the spirochetes will make their way into the CNS and all tissues within 4 weeks, so waiting to test is not a good idea. Better to treat preventively and for a LONG time. My daughter was treated with 10 days amoxicillan when she was 3 for bulls-eye rash. Now she is 9 and sick with chronic lyme disease.
Lynn I totally agree, why wait? Err on the side of caution! Other researchers who work with neuroborrellia I have spoken with as recently as last evening, tell me that the Bb is in the brain in 48 hours! Also the tests are all so unreliable. Why would someone with a bullseye rash wait for a result. I'd say that test + enough. Who cares about an inaccurate test result?? Next, knowing what I know about antibiotics, why do that one either?? They don't work! I know, I went into kidney failure anyway..Thanks guys.. Does anyone on this list know of one person who got immediate antibiotics after a tick bite w/ rash and never had another Lyme symptom again???? Lastly, correct me if I am wrong. But the tests that do show positive aren't accurate at all until 1-2 weeks!! Yikes!!!!!! Man, I am so sorry I did not know about CS and this list, oh about 30 something years ago. My life might have been a whole lot less painful, literally!!
