Antibiotics Fix Her Then They Wear Off Five Specialties Can’t Explain It #MedicalMystery



Nine months of fevers, night sweats, and fatigue. Five specialties, two admissions, bone marrow and lymph node biopsies — all normal. Except: her CRP stays elevated, her scans show ground-glass opacities, and every round of antibiotics makes her feel normal… until it wears off. Dr. Bayo shares three conditions this pattern brings to mind — MAC (an atypical infection often missed on standard testing), valley fever (a commonly missed fungal infection), and sarcoidosis — plus the phrase that puts the pattern itself in front of her doctors, and the medical binder habit that helps you and your care team spot what scattered records hide.
Jamie, you’re doing an incredible job advocating for yourself — answers are coming 💛

  1. Same here only mine has been going on 4 years. I'm at my wits end..😢 I'm currently in hospital again…I'm hospitalised on average 3 times a month.. 4 years now!!!

  2. Check for Chronic Lyme disease, too. Antibiotics will put the Lyme in hiding, but not eradicate it. It requires many varied antibiotic protocols to catch the Lyme as it comes out of hiding. There's a specific lab to send your blood for testing.

  3. I had a horrible wracking cough for over a year. Antibiotics, steroids, they'd help a little, but was so ill. Finally, a combo of antifungal and antibiotics and steroids in the same week kicked it.

  4. Parasites??? Fenbendazole baby!! Oh and don't do an ovum test at conventional lab because they never find anything. I had bad diarrhea and was sick, finally took fenbendazole for three weeks everyday and 100% better!! Also took a course of metronidazole as well

  5. Have them test you for Lyme. DON’T let them send your blood to an ordinary lab, make them send it to a medical university and don’t accept the doctor not being able to diagnose you for a low Lyme count, you either have Lyme or you don’t. Make sure they do the test absent of any antibiotic treatments. Most doctors know little to nothing about Lyme so you MUST do your own research and put yourself in contact with the RIGHT Infectious Disease Specialist. That’s been my journey but I can tell you, once I was finally treated, life was like the difference between night and day!

  6. Ask them to do an expanded Lyme profile. Find the best one. And ask them to look for Bartonella. My guess: you have two things and it has created a mixture of symptoms making it harder to find. By the way, bartonella is very hard to test for. So research the best lab. Also, did they check you for extra pulmonary TB? That happens.

  7. Have you considered Addison's disease? …
    Weakness, appetite loss, fatigue even dizziness are all part of it, but it is VERY tricky to diagnose.
    It's entirely possible that the diarrhea is caused by some of the treatments you've already been on?
    Hopefully you'll find an answer soon.
