Ok, it's reposted. You're the moderator. It's whatever you'd like.

Chemar, as you feel it's not providing completely accurate information, I decided to delete the post. Thank you for your imput regarding the pharmaceutical piece.

Thank you!

Qannie, one thing that my ped always did was switch abx as soon as I got sick. She also rotated my prophylactic one every 5 years! Most infections do not cause a flare. This one started for me due to mycoplasma!

Thanks, im completely freaking out. I finally have everything together in my life despite this disease wrecking my childhood. Im afraid of regressing even though im in an ok place!

Im so excited for you. Im having IVIG tomorrow. First time in 12 years since my last IVIG so it does last a long time!. im nervous! Glad it went well for you.

I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. I hope Dr. N really helps you.

I’m a teacher and I have some experience here. I teach fulltime in a high school. There are a lot of different accommodations that you can ask for. In the past, I have had to sit students in specific seats, make different types of tests for them, give them word banks- essentially make the assessments easier. For some of my students with mental disabilities, they are allowed to go to the nurse/bathroom/get a drink without a hall pass. When the work is particularly challenging, I allow them to work with a partner. You can also request for your child to have a study guide made before tests. I also had a student who was allowed to retake quizzes and tests if he did poorly. You can also allow for a no penalty for late homework. I typically tell my students to just put all missing work in a bin when they enter the class. Like that, they don't stand out or feel different. If they are too sick to attend school, I would highly recommend k12. I was briefly employed with them as well and they are wonderful with students who have disabilities. It’s completely free public school online within your state.

I'm sorry that you feel that way.

I received a message that I am offending people. I am assuming that most of this is coming from my views on Lyme and tick borne infections. I by no means wanted to offend anyone, therefore I sincerely apologize if I have. One of the main things that did get me better was not wasting time on co-infections and so that's why I feel so strongly.about, but I do sincerely apologize if I have offended anyone.

- I'm done here.

SF Mom, MS takes your life- from my knowledge (and I may be wrong) Lyme disease in most cases does not kill you.

Just to put this in a larger context, there are 313 million people living in the United States. 300,000/ 313,000,000 is less than 1% of the population within the US.

Can you only get it from kitty litter or the actual animal?
