Posted , 3 users are following.

hi everyone im a 28 year old male in severe distress reaching out for any advice anyone could give.. it all started when i moved back into my mother's homes in 2016..

Prior to a tick bite i was already begining to become sick but after the bite i went downhill.. in 2017 i noticed a decrease in stamina and shortness of breath on exertion in addition to malaise, fatigue, flu like symptoms sporadic shortness of breath increased gi problems, bloating,constipation, brain fog, tachycardia, insomnia, chest pains, dizziness upon standing, and tachycardia upon standing, confusion, heat intolerance and many more.. as 2017 progressed the symptoms became more unbearable everything became more intense i stopped working and exercising and spent more and more time in bed and visiting the ER and doctors I became very fearful something life threatening was going on.. as the year past i began to feel hopeless, and everything took a drastic turn in February of 2018 i woke up one day and the shortness of breath took over my life in a instance I began gasping, gulping, and yawning for deep breaths and air literally every minute and to this day i feel the exact same.. The air hunger and shortness of breath control my life any exertion makes it worse.. walking, talking, bathing, cooking i sold my car i no longer walk thru stores i struggle to sleep I literally have no life now and it's sucks so bad im desperate for help.. uneducated mds diminish my suffering to be mental. I've had echocardiogram, ekg, CT scan, x Ray's, cbc blood test indicating elevated liver enzymes to no concern of the MD elevated ph or my urine, and elevated bilirubin, had pulmonary testing the pulmonologist says its not the lungs despite abnormalities on pulmonary function test.. ent he isn't concerned basically I'm laying suffering everyday cant even walk into a store I feel like im fighting for my life...I've also had weird positive allergy test for peanuts, tree nuts, and gluten.. do yall have any ideas what's going on with me it's very real its very severe it's very drastic... I need different test to figure this out all the ones I've been given are not finding the problem.. if anyone knows there body I know my body I've been a healthy athletic guy my entire life until 2015-2016 ever since then I've been in a fight for life how would u feel to fight for every breath u take and be bed ridden at age 28 amd its never ending my illness also gets worse in the middle and the end of the month with the end of the month being the absolute worse im at my wits end with this suffering yesterday morning the shortness of breath was so bad i had a full on panic attack and my heart rate was 160 since then its been so bad ive had 3 more panic attacks and its truly terrifying.. the doctors are clueless this illness has a predictable pattern to it the end of the month and beginning of the mext i feel my worse also supplements and eating and showering make me worse this isnt anxiety its something else but it does cause anxiety. and now that covid is going on i cant go anywhere the person i live with doesnt feel comfortable with me going to the er due to covid even though ive gone a million times before amd they have done nothing everytime ive went.

    Did you get tested/treated for Lymes disease from your tick bite? I ask because my husband had a tick bite (unseen) and because of the language barriere here he wasn't treated for it for three months and ended up completely paralysed, (paralysis gone with massive drip antibiotics) every one is different in their reaction to the bite and depends where it is. Initial tests for Lymes came back negative !! faulty test? faulty husband?? he had chronic Lymes after that.
