Hi all,
Been dealing with my CFS/CFS-like condition for about 4-6 months now. One of the health professionals I'm working with thinks I have Lyme after doing Armin/Igenex testing. I'm aware that these tests are of dubious validity and I'd dismiss these outright if it weren't for the fact that I think I was bitten by a tick last year (for reasons other than my current symptoms).
Under the hypothetical assumption that the *Lyme diagnosis is false*, how do you perceive the risks of taking antibiotics for 3-6 weeks?
Is it foolish to pursue such a drastic regimen considering that my symptoms began fairly recently? (reason to delay)
It's also worth considering that Lyme treatment is rather time-sensitive (reason to not delay)
All opinions appreciated. Thanks for reading.
