12. next appts on the 8th and 21st of july

neuro and rheumy. That rheumy appt i set weeks ago -- it was the first date she had open.

it's the neuro who is doing the sleuthing. I'd originally been sent to him just to get an EMD (the nerve conduction test) but when he looked at my history he said he'd rather not stick a bunch of needles in me without knowing what's causing my fevers. he asked if i'd come on as a patient to try to get to the bottom of things.

totally impressed with his bloodwork order -- he asked for 33 different tests including a few that are valuable to Lyme (like MTHFR), but i had not had the abx reaction before he ordered that work. now i have a new data point to report, and i've developed a new symptom, red eyes. just insanely red. at first i thought pinkeye, but there's no crusting and it happens randomly -- sometimes when i wake up, sometimes in the middle of the day or at night. i've been asked more than once if i smoked weed. the first time i laughed and said they were full of shit, then i looked in the mirror. holy cow, it's like i've been swimming in a high-chlorine pool for hours with my eyes wide open.

i found an LLMD to add to the team, and that's who I'll most likely be able to get to do the Igenex titer test.
