So this is my first post of I'm sure many many more!!! Newly diagnosed at end of September, the day after my 41st birthday. I had heard of Lyme Disease before, but had no idea at all of what that meant.
I'm writing this today because for the first time in a long time, I'm sitting at the computer and able to type and read for a little bit at a time!! I just started writing when I could in a blog and that's where my LYME story is...

The Title of my lyme story is "Is it the Ringing In My Ears...or the Crickets in the Pasture"
Basically I had gone to Dr visits 20 x and on antibiotics 7 x all in a year. I knew I was sick. I knew I was dying, but I kept going until I totally lost it. On July 9, 2010 I was out of touch with reality and started having seizures. Hospital visits and Neuros seemed to help at first, but then that wasn't working.
My mom and me were researching and every symptom I had on internet said Lyme...but I knew that could not be it because I had not been bitten by a tick since I was a little girl. My mom found an article about Neuro-Lyme and it referred a LLMD out of state. We made appointment and it took a few months but got in to see him and he started me on antibiotic therapy that day.
That was 3 months ago. I'm still figuring out herxing, detox, medicines, and all that comes along with this disease. I don't understand it and of course my family don't understand either!
It is nice to find you guys even though I don't know you yet. I need to learn as much as I can and also share!
