Lyme Disease Insights Blog. James Schaller, M. D., M. A. R. The following checklist is not meant to be complete or authoritative. Information about Lyme disease is constantly emerging and changing. Therefore any checklist is intended for use as a starting point. In traditional medicine, a physician performs a complete history and physical. Labs and studies assist in clarifying the differential diagnosis. In Lyme disease, much debate exists about laboratory kits, the alteration of kits to have fewer possible bands, and which labs are optimally sensitive and specific. This checklist is not intended to address that issue or treatment. Over 2. 00 vectors carry the Ixodes tick, which is the most commonly known insect spreading Lyme disease. With so many vectors, the underlying assumption behind this checklist is that Lyme is not rare in North America, Europe, South America, Russia, Africa or Asia. We know Lyme disease is highly under reported. Immediately upon the onset of a tick bite, it transmits a pain killer, anti histamine and an anti coagulant. Based on animal studies, it is also possible the bulls eye rash is less common then assumed, in part because injections of spirochete related material in laboratory animals only show a rash with the second injection. This checklist is offered with the sincere wish that others will improve on it. It is this authors personal belief that tick and flea borne infection medicine is as specialized as HIV and Hepatitis medical science. Some of the checklist materials might be new to you, which underscores the need for another scale to add to the ones currently in existence. This list is based on a massive review of thousands of papers over a decade of full time reading, 2. Since modern Lyme disease seems to focus on tick borne disease and other laboratory testing, I will start with lab testing considerations. If a lab test has a value or a percentage, the numbers I am picking are meant to avoid missing positive patients. I am concerned about physicians and other healthcare workers not treating an infected patient, who over time can experience disability or death at a frequency that is impossible to determine. LABORATORY TESTINGINDIRECT AND DIRECT1. Vitamin D level is in the lowest 2. If you supplement, it should be in top 5. CD5. 7 or CD5. 8 is in the lowest 2. Free testosterone is in 1.

Once tests are commercially available for testing all forms of protozoa affecting humans, including FL1. Bartonella species, and Borrelia miyamotoi and other Lyme species, reporting should increase. IL B is in lowest 1. Do yall ever have trouble remembering the title and author of a book and it just makes you crazy It happens to me a lot. I thought maybe it happens to some of you. We just realized its the 20th anniversary of Smash Mouths Walkin on the Sun, a song about not being a normie or giving into ephemeral fads like soul.

A WBC count was, or is, under 4. Eosinophil level in the CBC manual exam is either at 0 1 or 6 7. Total manual Eosinophil level is 1. XRAY or other study shows cartilage defects in excess of injury or age median. If a full auto immunity panel is run with at least eight different tests, two are positive for example, you have a positive anti gliadin and a positive thyroid peroxidase. Positive or near positive borderline ELISA, PCR, or a positive tissue biopsy or a tick from your body is positive for Lyme or other tick infection. Lab tests show high inflammation, e. C4a, elevated cholesterol and C peptide. These are never specific just for Lyme. Lab tests show a MSH level under 3. Asus Ai Suite Ii. MSH is an anti inflammatory hormone. VIP is under 2. 0. This is an anti inflammation chemical. BODY EXAMINATION RESULTS2. Weight loss or gain in excess of 2. A round or oval rash with a dark center was or is present in a loose bulls eye pattern.

The color of the extremities such as hands and feet can be red, dark red, brown, dark blue or purple. SAMPLE NEUROLOGY EXAM3. Patients short term memory is poor. For example, if asked to recall these numbers2. Patient cannot reverse four numbers, so if given1. If asked to subtract 1. If a high school graduate, subtract 7 from 1. Light headedness upon standing quickly in excess of peers, and with no clear cause. Dizziness unrelated to position. Dizziness made worse by Lyme killing antibiotics. Trouble doing a nine step heel to toe straight line walk test with fingers slightly in pockets The patient should not sway or need their hands pulled out to prevent a fall. In patients with past experience in skating, skiing, dance or ballet this should be very easy and is rarely a challenge to such people. If it is not easy, it is suspicious medically, but not only for Lyme disease. Trouble performing a one leg lift, in which one leg is lifted 1.
