Hey TGoss,

A back door diagnosis for Lyme disease is having a negative reaction to antibiotics. It is called a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction caused by toxins released by the bacteria when it dies, also known as a die-off reaction.

This is the same reason you get sick when you kill candida.

If you got worse after taking ABX, well, have you checked with an MD used to dealing with Lyme? Don't bother with normal Lyme tests from a normal doctor because most MDs not familiar with Lyme do not know that blood tests for Lyme are not reliable.

Lyme is a clinical diagnosis that is based on your exposure ticks and symptoms. It takes an experienced Lyme doctor to diagnose or treat Lyme, but that is a whole different subject.

Hey Somedaysoon......what were you taking to kill candida?
