I just got off of skype with my doctor. She’s still happy with my progress, and my blood work still looks pretty good overall, which means we’re still on course for six months of antibiotics. She’s waiting until I have insurance to order some more labs so we can get a clearer idea of what’s

My legal name is Sandra Eileen Jacobs, so any direct quotes and scans of my medical information will refer to
Read MoreI got back the results of some of the blood tests today. I won’t be seeing the doctor until March 20th, so I won’t be able to get her take on it for a while yet. On the lab results so far I tested positive for three coinfections, and unfortunately it looks like the third
