Blood pressure spikes: Is this "Normal"?

This is an extensive journey you are on. Once you are off Afrin (and your methods are smart!) I would not be surprised if surgery is what brings your relief.
As for the Lyme, I did find one Lyme doc who took insurance. I also could not afford that care otherwise. I also found one functional doc who took insurance.
It matters which band was positive. If it was 41, that is common to many spirochetes and often found in gums. If it was, say, 23, that is Lyme specific. The CDC counts how many bands, but Lyme docs look at which ones in terms of being specific for Lyme.

My hope is that I can accumulate enough money for a more effective Igenex test to use a proof and also check for coinfections. If it was just a random igg band I would've happily dismissed it too, but unfortunately it was lyme specific band 39 😭
I did receive antibiotics since the bite, but it wasnt for that reason, just a normal 14 day course for UTIs I get chronically, so i think that couldve pushed them into remission to a degree but truthfully I do not think it was enough to eradicate them and at this point, I'm just going to try my luck with my rheumatologist who specializes in scleroderma, he brought up the possibility of using IV antibiotics to treat the SIBO who has laughed off 3 full courses of Xifaxan. With any luck it might kick the rest of the lyme still bugging as well.
