I was sick and miserable for a yr I finally figured it out!

Posted , 3 users are following.

Have u been sick for a while or have pain in ur joints, unexplained depression and anexity, insomnia, dizziness, foggyness, thyroid problems and have had cat scans and mris and ECT with a list of Drs that can't find anything wing with u?? I was sick for a yr before I finally found out what was goin on, I'm in process of clearing things up now.. Thank god!

Depending on ur body and which tick bite/con infection it effects ppl differently. I've talked to many drs. Tryin to figure out what was wrong for a yr. Lyme/co infections can mimic and disease out there. If u haven't been checked, its worth giving it a shot. But trick is goin to a Dr that actually test for co infections/lyme itself/and the antibodies. I've had a spinal tap and it still miss the lyme. Its a tricky disease to find. I can't stress enough u have to go to the correct Dr for it. Please don't hesitate to ask ANY question cuz any symtoms u think is dumb it isn't I can reassure that with this disease. Yes it can be cured!

    Hi Clarisa,

    I'm glad they finally found the cause of your symptoms. I've never had it myself, but saw a friend go through this about 25 years ago, when they were even less likely to diagnose Lyme disease than they are today.

    She got hospitalised twice, was wrongly diagnosed with lupus at one point, then they started testing her for allergies and gave her several full sheets of things she wasn't supposed to eat - which was just about everything really! I was with her when she opened the letter. She had the good sense to throw it in the fire.

    Finally, when they were discussing a psychiatric admission, she heard the Lyme story from a friend in the US, managed to convince a doctor to do the blood test, and got treated.

    My friend made a complete recovery in the end, with no lasting sequels. I hope you do too. And thanks for sharing.
