Headache Like Brain Freeze. Tested Positive For Lymes With Western Block, Microplasma. Can This Be Treated With Doxycycline? Is IgenX Test Needed?

Hi...my daughter has tested positive for Lymes with the western block. Shows recent infection. Do we need the IgeneX test done also? She doesn't ache that much, but has head-aches. "a different kind, like brain-freeze". She was also positive for microplasma. Can both be treated with Doxycycline. She's 16, and her orthodonist has confirmed that her teeth have developed. She's about 5'8", and has pro'ly nearly finished growing.

Hi, it is always better to complete the full course of antibiotic for controle of the lymes disease, to prevent the forth coming complications, and doxycyline will be sufficient for treatment, and periodic follow ups are very much necesory for knowing the cure process. Thank you.
