Have tested positive on IgG but not IgM
I had my result the other day come through which showed a positive for IgGi but not IgM which I guess is to be expected as I was probably infected some time in the mid 90s. It wasn't done by PCRi so there are no numbers, it was done by immuneflorescence.
Have had a terrible time since Tuesday when I had a root canal. The pain until today has been horrendous and I guess because its a mixture of inflammationi plus infection. There was a large abcess full of pus which was released by the dentist which of course goes into your blood stream.
I have had to increase my steroid because the pain and stress has floored me and also have taken the Axzithro daily plus the Doxyi. Thankfully today I have been able to halve the pain killers and just hope I have turned the corner. I am not sure how long I should take the daily Azithro because it was meant to be my 3rd week of MWF.
I have had many episodes of severe sweating especially in the evenings and have felt truly dreadful. Also experienced a lot of anxiety and would never have been able to sleep if not for some benzo which I wouldn't normally need. I guess a lot of chlamydia bacteria would have been released which would partly count to my feeling so ill?
Up until Tuesday I was doing really well and even able to get up and dance on 2 evenings because I didn't want to sit still! Cannot believe how quickly things can change and what a reminder it is of the long road ahead.
I have to go through this root canal proceedure in just over another week and will be dreading it and will ensure I take extra steroid before it as I made the mistake of not doing this. I was soon going to start a day of Metroi but I guess I must leave it a lot longer in view of this week.
