[quote=Anonymous]Ignore the nay-sayers; I would’ve been one of them too until our household went through this ourselves, and our DC’s longstanding “mental” and physical health issues were resolved by antibiotics for a Bartonella infection discovered via Igenix testing and a course of antifungals to resolve colonization turned up by Great Plains testing. I am a conventional medicine believer and like some PPs, was skeptical of the mold/Lyme/Bartonella/Babesia/PANS types of issues, until we went through it ourselves and spent several years trying to get answers via conventional medicine, which did jack-all. I now firmly believe that there is a subset of people who are vulnerable to systemic dysregulation caused by vectors like these; I hope that the research around long covid will shed some light, but that’s probably years off. While I wouldn’t wish these experiences on anyone, I do think you have to have gone through it to really understand what it’s like, and how very little the typical PCP & referral-tour of specialities will do to remedy the situation. I’d be surprised if many people get to the point of looking for Lyme-literate doctors without having tried the regular pathways first without success. ILADS, as PP said, should be a good source of knowledgeable providers. Good luck - I hope you find your path back to health! [/quote]
