I’m Curious…
Do you understand why your Lyme test would turn positive after an antibiotic course ?

The doc said I had had Lyme for quite awhile and it was "hiding" in tissue, and the antibiotics flushed the Lyme out, so to speak. Look up Herxheimer reaction for info on this. My own view is, who knows?! I had testing at a mainstream lab so the results were pretty reliable, and I met the CDC requirements for a positive diagnosis.
