I am sorry to read about your story. If you do have Lyme, know that even the very sick can respond to treatment. Late is better than never!
The doctors who treat challenging Lyme cases are referred to as "Lyme literate" doctors, or "LLMD" for short. Try an internet search of LLMD plus your city/state, you may come up with some names.
People are hesitant to post doctor names publicly because in many states, the medical board comes after doctors who consider aggressive treatment for Lyme.
I'd write more, but I'm 1/2 out the door to work. Keep us posted and take care!
I read your story and am so sorry about your terrible health issues. You need to be seen right away to be evaluated. The sooner the better.
Keep us posted as you can be helped. Many people here have had lyme for a long time others not as long.
The key to getting well is patience, treatment, and commitment to getting well. I had it about three months. I went to so many doctors that just said it's nothing. MY own primanry though I needed to see a psychiatrist.
I ended up going to LLMD who has helped me and although it will take time I'm much better and can even sit up, go to the store and resume a quite normal life.
Good luck and if you need anymore help, please let us all know. JKV
Many people have gone through what you describe, including myself. I had the bullseye rash too but had never heard of lyme at the time. I got absolutely nowhere after multiple appts. with different doctors. I ended up traveling out of state and got treatment. I am not completely well but much better and able to function, work etc....I had the rash 15 months prior to getting any treatment.
The only doctor in my area is in Tampa Florida and he does not accept Medicaid. I just wrote someone out of state what wants me to call this tomorrow. I hope they can help because I will continue to fight untill I get some kind of treatment. Your statement on sitting up and going to the store fits me also the same way. Can't do makes normal things , I'm lucky if I have one day of peace where I feel somewhat ok. If I can find someone or anitbiotics that work and get semi-normal I'm for that, much better to have a half life with this disease then none at all. I need some feed back on these symptoms please....sleep disturbance that makes you wake up in a rage/ ( I have to tell myself to calm down,,,it will passit does ). Other things I'm concerned about is if anyone experienced this . Symptoms like your circulation being cut off. Blood pressure that's not under control due to stress or it decides to go crazy . Nerves play an important role in the nervous system..it controls alot of functons in the body. Does anybody experience pin pricks /tingling /pressure on the back of the neck? My lymph glands are painful whether under the arms or back of neck and under my jaw. Thick blood/fevers /hot and cold chills. None of my tests come out positive , as by now they have mutated and went to my muscle tissue so on. I have connected all the dots and it all leads to the same thing ..Lyme. I just at my primary doctors yesterday, he checked for clogged arterys in my left neck where I feel the most pressure, he said and I trust him , "that there was no blockage. On the other hand without an echo card. (I say) it's hard to rule out. I have stomach problems where I cannot eat /drink exessive fluids or the average portions of food ...I'm sure it's effecting my stomach also. I rarely go to doctors unless I'm terrified and it's the last resort, but now I'm forced to . I know this is killing me and one usually can sense their bodys something terrible . I stay in bed most of the time because if it's not my nerves..it the debilitating symptoms that I have that not allows me to function . I do not not remember at this stage ..what it's like to have all that energy back and I miss my old life so that I really grieve for it. I seriously would trade cancer over this disease then this..no joke maybe the lesser of two evils. Anyone that wishes and shares my symptoms please contact me . I don't wish to bring down anyone around the holidays but I'm sure we all have this in common ...facts and the disease and we are all being earnest about our fellings.
Happy Holidays To Everyone!! *****
