Progress Being Made
Old news, but the latest "testing" after one week of antibiotics (with the caveat that I had started the Buhner protocol over a month ago which certainly helped significantly - I'll write about that later) is that I am making significant progress. My spleen and liver are almost back to normal size. Most significantly I can stand with feet together and eyes closed indefinitely without losing my balance. Before treatment I couldn't stand more than about a second in that position before toppling. Additionally, I can now walk toe-to-toe without falling.
I had one day where I felt really good, and back to normal. Most days I just feel drained and blah. Most of the problems have been mental with fatigue, etc. I suspect there is a limit to the neurological issues since Rocephin does not cross the blood-brain barrier very well, and will get worse with a new antibiotic. There has been a recent resurfacing of some joint problems in my foot. I assume that this is related to Lyme die-off in that area.

Cured eh!? Curse you!
But really, congrats on the misdiagnoses. It sounds like you are well on your way to being 'normal' again ... whatever that is.
I'm not sure I even remember what normal is, but feeling better certainly is good!
good news. and good on you for keeping after all of this.
A stranger from the outside looking in on this every once in a while, got the MS diagnosis just this year but it's been really weak as far as symptoms, lesions etc. Interestingly I had ticks often as a child (often in the skull) so will keep your blog in my mind as I start down this road. Thanks for the blog, Erik (and Eriksgirl!) It shares so much more than the official sites do. :)
