Lymes Disease symptoms?
Hi,
I have been diagnosed with anxiety and I am currently taking 10mg Lexapro which doe not seem to be helping. I have really bad physical symptoms and I think there is something else medically wrong with me, even though the various health test that I've had all came up negative. My question is, does anyone of you suffering from lymes disease feel constantly tired all of the time, feel like you are out of your body, like on drugs or living in a constant dream? I guess it's called depersonalization? But can it happen Constantly? I also have floaters, halos, white lights in my vision and doubled vision. Like, if I focus on an object, whatever other object is behind it or beside it is doubled. If you know what I mean? And when I sleep my body also vibrates. I have obsessive thoughts, I do obsessive things, I am constantly thinking, and feel like I have some kind of disease that the doctors cannot find. I cannot concentrate, I forget everything, feel foggy headed, and just feel empty. And can Lymes disease cause constant joint popping? I have constant grinding, popping, and cracking sounds in my joints all over my body, especially in my neck, very badly in my shoulders, my back, jaw, elbows, wrists, knees and hips. It does not usually hurt but my muscles and joints hurt and seem to be tense, weak and stiff. Can lymes disease cause all of these CONSTANT symptoms? This problem is effecting my life and my relationships and I just want to feel normal and like my old self again. I just need to know if lymes disease can cause all of these symptoms, and constantly, 24/7 I have these symptoms. like I said, I was diagnosed with anxiety but I do not believe that anxiety can cause all of the agony. I was tested for lymes disease twice, and both came up negative. The first time the antibody test came up "high" so they did a westen blot and the 41 band came up positive, but thats it so they said the western blot was negative and that I didnt have lymes disease. I just do not know what to do? for those of you who hve lymes disease, do my symptoms sound like lymes disease? or could it really just be anxiety? I am currently residing in Hampton Roads Va, and do not know how to find an LLMD near me. If any of you could help it would be greatly appreciated. And I have had these symptoms for almost a year now, so if I do find an LLMD near me and do in fact find out I have lymes disease would it still be curable? THIS IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

It will not let me compose a pm to you, but I find that I can reply to them. Please send me a pm and I will write you back ASAP. please help me ewford.
Well I told myself I was going to turn my back on this website. But your symptoms bring back a memory to me. 20 years ago I was living the double vision stuff. After I went through it I had to go to college to come to an understanding of what had happened to me. I had experienced an encephalopathy. A swelling of the base of the brain, it doesn't take a lot of swelling to produce the visual disturbances that you've described, been there. I don't want to increase your anxiety, but this is very dangerous. I see you have the tests you need, despite what I've read above, and remember, I'm not a doctor either, I would venture to say have a mycoplasma infection. For your joints to be in the shape you describe, you've had it for some time. If doxy doesn't help the symptoms then it may be a tetracyline resistant strain. When I was in my 30's my spine, the chiropractor said, looked like someone that was in their 70's. Lord pulled me out of my encephalopathy, I pray he does you too. jesuslives142, good advice, surely he does!
pm me and i will give you info. I am in williamsburg. have faith and just remember that help is on the way
All I can say is your post brought me to tears. Thank you more than you ever know.
Dear Friend. I read your post and I was moved with compassion. I have no medical advice to give you but I pray that you will hear me out and consider what I have to say carefully. Some people will laugh at what I have to say, but thats because they are not in your situation and they dont know what you are going through. What you are looking for is hope and thats what I'm going to give you. Hope is priceless and precious and when you get it, hold on to it for your life.
Your solution may not be too far from you. Don't despair and give up hope. Be strong for nothing is impossible. God lives and I've seen Him do the impossible through His Son Jesus Christ. With my own two eyes I have seen cancer healed, I've seen blind eyes opened and the deaf hear. I've even seen the lame walk in the Name of Jesus Christ just as it happened in the bible. To medical science, this makes no sense at all - but it's true. With Him, nothing is impossible. Put your trust in Him - and watch what He can and will do for you. You may be asking, how do I know I can trust Him? Well, you can trust Him because He loves you.....and he prooved that Love by dying on a cross for you. Yes, He really loves you. Nobody else loves you like He loves you. I say again don't despair, but look up and call on the Name of Jesus today.
Miracles are not new friend, they happen all the time and everywhere where the Gospel is preached in Truth. Investigate this for yourself. God is at work today. Main stream media will never tell this to you. Research on the pentecostal reformation of the church! Check out such people as John G Lake, Smith Wigglesworth, Kathryn Khulman, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and Chris oyakhilome just to name a few. Don't believe what the media may say about them, the media will always pick up the negative (I'm sure you've noticed). These people served and those who are living still serve God faithfully.
In conclusion, find a Pentecostal, bible believing church in your area and ask the Elders there to pray for you. But begin today in your room by asking the Lord to come in to your heart and show you what you are to do. May hope fill your heart as you trust Him.
With Love. A friend.

My husband has a very similar story to yours, many similar symptoms as well, he went undiagnosed for two years because physician's rely on the Lyme testing, which is innacurate!! Since his diagnosis he has been on anti-biotics (high doses) for the past 8 months now!! He has a myriad of symptoms that he still struggles with including headaches from the pressure in his brain that they can see on MRI, arthritis, body twitches, feeling anxious/irritated/foggy, heart problems ++++.
I believe that you definitely have Lyme Disease and you need to find a doc now to start treatment, the longer it goes the harder it is to get rid of and treat (we still have no idea how much longer my husband will be on anti-biotics for and it's not just anti-biotics, meds for his palpitations, anti-inflammatories and meds for his headaches due to the encephalitis). I work in the medical community in Canada and work with many docs, not many of them learn about Lyme Disease you can't rely on them. It took me a long time to find a good doc, his name is Dr. Hovsep Baghdadlian and he's in Toronto (North York), he'a an infectious disease specialist, medical microbiologist and internist. He specializes in Lyme's and he is on the only doc in Canada who does (I know because I work in the medical community and it still took me over a year to find him). If I were you I would be contacting his office and asking his receptionist advice and what you can do, he is connected with other like physician's in the US because he is also the ambassador for infectious disease between the US and Canada. My husband loves him, he's the first doc who took his symptoms seriously and listened if you have to I would get on a plane to see him, your visit to see him here will be much cheaper than it would be in the States. I hope you take the seriously and contact him soon, the sooner you start treatment the better, it's been almost three years now and we are still waiting for things to return to normal for my husband, he's 28. He actually had the bull's eye rash but his lyme tests were negative (Dr. Baghdadlian says that's extremely common and they are NOT reliable for diagnosing) and still no one would listen to him until we found Dr. Baghdadlian. Dr. Baghdadlian also diagnoses a lot of other problems that other doc's can't figure out because of his specialties + he is in it because he actually cares, that's why he did the extra specialties specifically for Lyme Disease because he was seeing people's lives being ruined. Try googling him and you'll see what I'm saying is true. Lyme's mimics many other disease such as MS, depression, neurological degenerative conditions ++++++. Good Luck to you.
