Went to my doctors yesterday and was uncomfortable with the result. He's the top infectious disease doc in the country but I came away quite worried. I am on 200mg doxy (1 month) and 300mg Rifampicin (10 days) and my results were 71IGg - anything about 22 being positive for CPn.

Go to the top of this page. Look at the tabs at the top. Read the Physician Pages and the Research pages. There you will find the ammunition you need. Also, DW's pages have many helpful citations: http://www.davidwheldon.co.uk/peer-review.html Don't feel bad. I went through the same thing with one of the foremost infectious disease practices in Chicago. They mocked me to my face and I left the office SO depressed. Fortunately, I already had a prescribing physician and I picked myself up and continued on. AND I'M FINE. So, ignore the naysayers and just focus on getting healthy.

Thanks! I need as much ammunition as possible! You haven't come across any papers from last three years - think he will be persuaded by the latest findings!

Your doctor might try talking to Dr Stratton by telephone: ou can find his address at Vanderbilt easily enough. He likes to talk about all his latest research.........................Sarah
