Feeling down but hopeful

My son had Lyme disease with a serious coinfection that was misdiagnosed as a blood disease. I looked up his pathogen and saw there were 4 other possible coinfection microbes. His was anaplasmosis, often missed, and missed by his primary doc. Fortunately, another doctor identified the pathogen through a blood test and treated it with antibiotics. A second blood test after the treatment confirmed that the infection had been successfully treated. He was really sick after the initial Lyme infection was treated, and misdiagnosed as a blood disorder. The other coinfections are: Lyme borreliosia, babesiosis Powarsan virus, and B niyamatoi infection. A blood test, especially for anaplasmosis, should tell you if you had a Lyme coinfection, what it is, and if it survived antibiotic treatment. The anaplasmosis bacterium can cause fatal disease. Because you feel better after antibiotic treatment, the possibility of this bacterial coinfection with Lyme makes sense to me. The correct diagnosis could be your healing path. All the best.
