I was doing some research last night online concerning MAV and mdds. I came across something about lymes disease, and read the website with the list of symptoms and all of the symptoms are the same as what we are going through. The dizziness the headaches the neck pain anxiety the muscle aches and a lot of other symptoms. I wish I would've never read them, because I woke up this morning with anxiety because The muscles in my arms and legs started hurting last night. So now that's all I can think about. I've never been tested for Lyme Susie's and according to the information you don't have to have that target looking rash to have it but I don't remember being bit by a tick but you never now .

So now I guess I'll have to go through worry about this for a couple days till I get over it.

      Thanks for the reassurance.  I have to remind myself that the smptoms we have are the same as a lot of things out there, to include heart diease.  I think what bothered me was that many years ago our dog had ticks and we found some in the house, so I could I could think was, oh no maybe I got bit and don't remember it, but I do remember checking all the time, for any kind of bite marks.  Knowing myself if I would have had any bites I would have been at the doctors office.  Having health anxiety is awful but sometimes it helps.

    If you go for the Lyme test I have heard to ask for the western test which is more accurate then the standard test they give.

    PLease get tested, there are many tests for lymes and do some research on the many types of Lymes  out there. Doctors usually only test for one or two types, look for a Specialist( best one in NJ), many folks have been givien the all clear and it was not clear, requiring heavy doses of drugs to fix, sometimes haveing to wear an IV for months !!! to fix this. I go next week to see a cardio guy then off to the nuero guy.......I live in heavey lyme area, NY.

    sounds like I should add this to my lists too...

    if no luck with nuero guy I will try lymes too..........

    Oh I didn't think about that... maybe. How do you gtt tested though through blood work? Try not to worry yourself about it too much. Have you booked an appointment with your doctor to check it?
