While at the homeschool book fair today, I received a call from my doctor. Yes, he actually follows up on the weekends.....and he gave me some new lab results from last week. I am testing positive for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvrd/rmsf/Signs.htm) which I would have never been looking for....not like I was looking for Lyme either really. It is no wonder I have not felt good for so long......I have been invaded by tick borne diseases......how, I do not know!!!
Anyway, I am already on Doxy for the Lyme treatment so hopefully it will resolve the RMSF. The doctor also told me I have some other micro-organism that attaches to the cell wall...seems Doxy is good treatment for that as well. I will have to check into the exact name of that on Monday. He said it is normally not too big of a thing for regular people, but with Lyme and auto-immune problems, it is not so good. Great, something else to worry about.........well, I am still breathing right?? :)
UPDATE: May 12th
I found out the other issue I have is Mycoplasma. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma
