First Specialist Doctor Visit

Posted by Arthur On February - 11 - 2008ADD COMMENTS

I had my appointment with an infectious disease specialist today. The Doctor seemed very casual about it, almost like it’s not a big deal. That did not make me feel all that good about this Doctor but I will give him a chance.

He asked me a long list of questions trying to narrow down my symptoms and try to evaluate how far the Lyme Disease has spread throughout my body.  Based on that the Doctor said that he thinks I had Lyme Disease for less then a year.

He prescribed Doxycycline 100MG twice a day for 30 days saying that it should clear it up fairly quickly. Hopefully it will work. He also gave me a referral to get a cardiogram done to make sure that the Lyme Disease did not spread to my heart. He said it was just precautionary.

I’m really hoping the Doxycycline will work.
