My point is people are desperate - and for some it's difficult to find (or pay) a LLMD. There are groups on FB (one of the only uses I have for FB) with thousands of members who give/get advice. No they aren't doctors, but I wouldn't discount their lack of certification - they have experience.
Unfortunately I have not yet beat it (or whatever other disease(s) the tick gifted me.) I'm still on 3-4 different antibiotics and feeling generally like crap. But it's 'only' been 3 months.
I don't need to be told that tests are unreliable or that doctors can be as misinformed as any of us. I am encouraging anybody in this thread who is personally affected to seek medical advice, not the advice of random internet commenters.
Congratulations on beating RMSF.
