Too late to treat for Lyme Disease | Arthritis Information
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis almost 3 years ago. I just recently read up on lyme disease. I am starting to suspect I have lyme disease instead of RA.
Is it too late to treat for Lyme Disease after 3 years? Has anyone tried any of the treatments? How did it work for you?
were you ever tested for Lyme? It is often one of the first tests performed.
No Cindy it's not too late to start treating for Lyme !
But get the best diagnostic lab to do the tests don't rely on just any laboratory.
Patients need to be aware that current guidelines for testing Lyme often result in false negatives.
Researcher Joanne Whitaker, M.D. has developed a more accurate test for Lyme Disease called the Q-RIBb test which actually looks for the cell wall deficient form of Borrelia Burgdorferi, rather than relying on detection of antibodies. This test is available from Central Florida Research, Inc. They accept billing for Medicare and most major insurance companies. Check their website for more information.
Or you could just go to the Roadback where everyone apparently has Lyme's
