Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, I think I might have lyme disease. And it is compromising my immune system. I came down with a bad bug Friday and caused me extreme weakness and sinus infection. I got antibiotics and today is day 5 and I am feeling still weak and congested in the throat. I got bit by a tick less than 6 months ago and previous to that another tick 1.5 years ago. The second one made a red ring but went away. the first one was infected till I discovered what it was. I tested in January for it but the results said I was not affected even though the antibodies were way up just below the diagnosis point (off by 1 point).
