wow 2 people in 2 days just by talking to them

[ewford]

today is the second day in a row that someone I know was diagnosed with Lyme.  She got lucky and the Labcorp test titres were high.  I feel good that I had talked to her weeks ago and mentioned all off this since she couldnt figure out what was going on.

I just happen to find these things out just by making conversation with people.  You would be surprised how many are ill in silence because they feel it's too personal to talk about.  But once they open up, it's like a floodgate.

OMG,,, serioulsy!!!!! wow, did I come back to this forum just in time or what???  If only you guys could hear me!! LOL

I am definately looking for an LLMD ASAP!!!!!!

  No, she actually went to her standard PCP after her allergist said she was "anxious".  I had told her my story, she explained her symptoms, he ran the Labcorp test (yes) after 2 months of being confirmed bite.  She e mailed me today telling me.  I think she went back to her PCP to get the 4 week ABX while setting up a LLMD appt as per my reccomendations.  While talking to her co-worker, the coworker then told me she had been diaged as having Bartonella from a cat scratch.  Jeezelouise......
