O.k....I feel like a total putz for being afraid to go to the doctor, and am relieved that I did actually go today.  Talking to a friend has really helped me with this, not to mention hurting bad enough that I didn't need to wait until I was bleeding from the eyes for me to justify the visit.  

I went for the express purpose of getting relief from two burdens.  

1.  PAIN
2.  Physical anxiety s/s that have no mental emotional component.  

He told me that my test for Lyme, that I had done a couple weeks ago was positive.  Oddly enough too, I pulled a tick off my leg this a.m.  Anyway....he drew blood for a more specific Lyme test, and ordered an x-ray of my spine and recommended I go see a rheumatologist.  He has not prescribed treatment at this point, as he wants to wait for the test results.  

So...I'm tryin' to deal with my issues..please forgive my uncharacteristic non-posting right now.  I'm doin' what I can..I guess like all of us.  

It seems in all the haze and mess, that I just realized today, that today, I'm 120 days out now...provided that April had 30 days in it.  Not sure what that means at this point, as right now....I'd be happier to celebrate a peaceful existence.  I feel strongly that this doc will at least try to get to the bottom of my barrel..and am thankful for all of your support and friendship.  I am clinging to you all and have smiled despite myself because of guys...  Thank you!!!

Sorry to read this Jacqui, I just looked up the symptoms it sounds agonizing it was also heartening to read about the antibiotics I hope yours is caught real early...It seems odd that they have a vaccination for Dogs and would not have one for people.. On a brighter side I use to have a huge crush on spock I mean BIG.. Your in my thoughts your internet friend Lesa

malenurse57...Thank You! : )    


Lesa,    I have had it before, and this time, it's not lookin' like we caught it early..we're thinkin' all the heart s/s, everything may be Lyme..we're not positive mind you, but it would make a lot of sense.   I know that the vaccine for dogs that was originally produced, caused Lyme s/s in the dogs vaccinated...I don't think that helped things much...I am fuzzy remembering some details now, but I thought a few years back they did develop a vaccine for humans, but that it wasn't totally cut and dry.  I'll have to look it up..it's kind of vague to me now..      I had a big crush on Spock too....He's the man ; )       Your buddy, Jacqui

road2recovery,     I feel the same...glad on the one hand, but no so much on the other.  I can deal with it though, it's just the meantime that is the hardest.  I very much appreciate your support...I really really do..a temple is nothing without it's pillars....   I will update as soon as I know what's what.  Thanks for being there. : )

I am so glad your Dr was supportive and is willing to help you. Congrads on 120 days and I can't wait till you are"fixed" and the pain goes away or at least becomes livable.
