A blood test a year ago confirmed without a doubt that I had Lyme's. Dr said I had had it at least 3 months. He prescribed antibiotics for a month and I felt better, physically, however my finance was dying in the hospital at the time and I couldn't get there as often as I wanted due to the pain and stiffness and tiredness I felt. I remember waking up one night, before I was diagnosed, and went to get up to go to the bathroom but couldn't move my lower body. I was temporarily paraylized. Scarey. Very scarey. I didn't put 2 and 2 together at the time, however, my dog"s hind legs, many years ago, became paraylized and found out he had Lymes. Both my dogs were then treated with antibiotics and were fine, I think, and it was recommended by my vet for me to have a series of shots to prevent Lyme's, which I did. I found out years later that they pulled the human preventive drug off the market and no one could tell me why. I never saw a rash/ring. Now, not only do my knees feel the same as they did then, but my neck, which is most troubling and incapacitating. I cannot move it and if I do by accident, or when I sleep, it is extremely painful. I have a constant headache, what seems to be sinus problems ( I have had 4 bloody noses this week. I've never had a bloody nose and I am 56), a toothache which encompasses all of my teeth, mouth sores, ringing in my ears, a sense of not being here and lightheadedness and I was diagnosed with chronic depression years ago for which I take medication. It has intensified my old injury in my lower back and afftects all my joints in the same spot on both sides. Is this Lyme's that never went away? Or do I have a combination of several conditions, sinusitis, herniated disks in my neck, bad teeth, RA. I don't have insurance and cannot afford to go to my doctor.
