Met with our new doctor, Eric Gordon (Santa Rosa, California) two
days ago. Was quite a change to talk to an MD who has actually heard
of ES, and isn't scared off by the mere mention of CFS, MCS, FMS,
adrenal exhaustion, leaky gut, etc. etc. Having been on this list for
five months allowed me to be listening for the right things, so I
feel confident that Dr. Gordon is at least looking in the right
places with the first batch of tests we ordered (Lyme, stool,
hormones, glutathione). He didn't rule out mercury toxicity but
didn't seem to feel it was our primary suspect given that my husband
does not have amalgam fillings. I mentioned the multiple Hep-B shots
my husband received about a year before onset of symptoms but Dr.
Gordon wasn't really buying that. Given my husband's good health
history prior to this illness, and then the sudden nature of the
onset of the illness six years ago, Dr. Gordon suspects an infection
of some kind...so for now he's betting on Lyme.
Question to you all: how many ES folks here have had a positive
result from Lyme testing? And what sort of treatment did you receive?
With what results?
Thanks,
Cara
