2 years, Getting Worse, Need Help.

respiratory issues, nausea, numbness, pain, muscle spasms, memory problems, confusion, anxiety, anemia, hypoglycemia, heart racing... All started up just out of the blue. Symptoms come and go frequently. Sometimes I feel normal. Sometimes I suffer like no other. Its Been getting worse. Seems like my mind is in a fog? Could this be a Neurolical infection or what? I cant afford healthcare and am terrified of doctors because usually when they pull my blood I pass out. But this is going on far too long. I need answers. I have been to hospitals they keep trying to tell me its panic disorder and my bloodwork is fine. But the symptoms come first and then the panic when I dont know how bad its going to get or if I might pass out.

Better be safe than sorry. Getting worse and worse can be evidence of Lyme infection and also your symptoms description really sounds like Lyme and a co-infection. Before blaming anxiety you need to address the other possibilities. Anxiety is the last diagnosis that should be made if there's nothing else wrong. Lyme also causes anxiety...

What you describe sounds very much like a panic attack.  Anxiety disorder can cause all the symptoms you list and occur in the manner you have experienced.  Why do you not believe what the doctors have told you, that's it's panic disorder?  It is very treatable and you can find relief if you get treatment for it.  Many communities have free mental health services available.  Call your local library to find the information.
I know it's hard to believe anxiety can cause the symptoms you experience but rest assured it can.  Check out the anxiety forum and see the countless others that suffer as you do.

Get checked for Lyme disease. Try to find a LLMD and do the Igenex tests.
