My LLMD is not a fan of vaccines, but my got the flu/pneumonia last year which in my opinion triggered my symptoms! I have a 3 month old daughter who cannot be immunized for the flu until Christame time so my husband and I both got the flu shot and are asking all family in close contact get theirs as well!

Symptoms started in 9/16 after 2 miscarriages, diagnosed with Lyme 4/17, Daughter born 6/17 (not breastfeeding). ANA negative by IFA as of 8/17, positive by ELISA with positive Anti-DSDNA antibodies the same month (false positive?). Symptoms that have come and gone include sicca and skin tightening and telangiactiasia. Currently dealing with migraines, arthralgia, morning stiffness, neuropathy, slight swelling, slightly elevated liver enzymes, and bubbly urine. Current protocol: minocycline 100 mg QID, azi
