New Treatment - Day 15

I don't have much to say, things are more or less the same. I am still on Zithromax and Avelox protocol, after a 4-day break from both, for monitoring my symptoms & side effects which haven't really changed. I had a general blood test and liver profile after the first 10 days of antibiotic treatment... Everything ok, within normal range! Funny isn't it?... Being so sick but blood tests looking so great! However, I will have my blood and liver tested every 2 weeks...
I also had some blood sent to California, to finally have the Western-Blot by IgeneX Lab!!! Yayyy:) The WB by IgeneX is maybe the ONLY reliable test for Lyme disease. So I have to wait for their results, probably for around 10 days!
I also still wait for the SPECT test! The SPECT scan is very new in Greece. There is only one private hospital in collaboration with a foreign Doctor (specialist) doing the test, whenever this Doctor comes to Greece. It was supposed to take place a few weekends ago for a group of people including me, but was canceled so we have to wait for a new date now...

Well, I'm busy waiting lately, but what can I say?....

    I hope things start getting better soon...:)

    I hope the tests will be conclusive cuz it's good to finally "know".

  2. So wise these words....

    Georgia I'm with you! I'm reading you and waiting (im)patiently the SPEC and the new test you mentioned.
    I have a feeling you'll be confirmed about Lyme once again. Isn't weird, the announcement of an illness to bring you this odd sensation of awkward familiarity? At least you know your enemy, this is a big thing.

    I have some questions... (once again)
    Are you still on that strict diet?
    Isn't there anything you can do for the nausea?

    Many many MANY supportive e-kisses! ^_^
