[at-l] Lyme Disease

[Arthur Gaudet]

My doctor called today with blood results. I have Lyme disease, in an early
stage. So for the next 28 days I'll be taking meds. This is on top of the
diagnosis I received last week of atypical pneumonia, both were probably
contracted on my most recent hike.

The blood test confirmed the presence of one antibody, but not both. Since one
appears in the bloodstream before the other it acts as a timer for how long the
Lyme organism has been in my bloodstream. Does anyone know anything more about
this timing phenomena? I'd be curious to know how long is the window between the
appearance of the two antibodies.
