Let us know how your fungal treatment is going. There are members on this site who believe that yeast may be a cause of this disease. There has to be something that activates our antibodies.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate . To detect if there is inflammation in your body. However this test has a letent time properities that detects inflammation more accuratly in the immideate past (Chronic Inflammation) not the current inflammation you may be having right this momment.

A CRP (C-Reactive Protien) gives you are much more accurate picture of what is ging on right now (Acute).

You need both tests. One with out the other is near worthless. ESRs are cheap... that is why they are done more offten.

The Bulls Eye rash is complete garble when it come to Lyme. It is the most common but by no means does every case of Lyme beginn with a Bulls Eye Rash. Some times it is flat as you have described.

Where you ill befor the trip? Did you eat anything different or out of your norm. Are you inthe medical field?
 
Thanks for the info Zeke. I think there is a CRP on the list too, I didn't look at all of what was on there because I don't know what most of it is. I am not in the medical field, I am in the oil and gas industry. I was a bit ill on the trip but was drinking alot. Actually I am an alcoholic, I quit drinking 9 days ago and am back in AA, fear is a wonderful motivator. Some of my problems may be associated to my alcoholism. Since I quit drinking the numbness and tingling has subsided quite a bit, but I am still getting a lot of muscle twitching, mostly on my right side, but allover my body too. It came on very suddenly. I was also taking some cleansing herbs at the time this started, and had a very strong adjustment of my arms, legs and back by a chiro. The twitching came on a couple of days after quitting drinking, that adjustment and starting that herbal cleanse. There are still some unexplained questions like the rash that came on just prior to the paresthesia and neuropathy. I will go through the tests and hope that it's benign.

In some of my blood work my doc noted my magnesium was very high in a serum test. He mentioned that this could actually mean magnesium is low in my nervous system because it's not being absorbed properly if my kidneys are not functioning well. I think he's sending me for a different type of magnesium test as well.
