It came back

I think my Lyme flared up agian from going to physicle therapy ;( I had that whole flu syptom a week ago and now I feel even worse with my joints.

I was sooooo embarressed today at work I want to cry. I dont even want to say what happened but i know some of you may relate. I had lunch a side salad and a small spinache pie, after lunch I had a cigerate ( i know I shouldnt be smoking with lyme) while I was outside I felt a gas bubble in my stomach and let it out since i was alone but then I felt ouzing wettness come out, I panicked and thought oh my god my lyme is back!

so i ran to the bathroom and thank god none got on my pants, took off my underware and threw it away, some of you may ask why didnt I got home well , I work for a family owned buisness and I was ashamed to ask and explain what happened ;( so after that I was nervouse all day of what will happen next.

thank fully that didnt happen again, so then I felt depressed and by the end of my shift I was exhausted and in pain. I was having the pain in my collar bone shoulder area again and every time I try to lean my shoulders back I got a sharp pain. I am DONE.. I want to know what is going on.

So I have 3 options....1 is to go back to my LLMD who I feel that didnt do much for me but load me with all sorts of meds every few months different ones... 2 go to the RI hospital Lyme Clinic and get a referal from my MD or 3 go to another dr that is great that is the next state over but I will have a long waiting period.

Also I am going to cancel my PT for next week.....

I Know my body needed a break from everything and I wanted to know what was wrong with my kneck which has improved a bit but feels sooo achy and now different pain. i feel the massage has flared up my Lyme cause it is laying in my spinal cord... what to do..

Thank you for listening

Jennie

That's okay,

It was obviously traumatizing for you. I think many of us have had a similar experience, just didn't mention it.

I hope you will keep searching for a doctor that you have confidence in who can get you on the road to wellness. You don't have to live like this.

Feel better

Hey Jennie,
I am soooooo sorry that you went through such an ordeal!!! Lyme & co's can sure mess with a body, huh?!? I'm really glad you felt comfortable enough to explain here what happened to you!!!

I have had a couple of similar experiences, although now I am having trouble with my bladder - I never know if I will have control over it that day or not!! I have had to go to wearing those 'protective' pads.

I happen to believe with the reaction you had, that you did the right thing to stop your PT. I have tried to do PT twice now, each time I can get into the third week, but by then I will get these warning signs from my

body that all he## is about to break loose!!! So, I make my excuse and leave as they tell me "No, don't quit now!" --- at which point I have to tell them, I guess you just don't understand!

I think my main issue with the PT is the actually getting there twice a week - no matter how I feel on that day. The actual PT was always helpful for me.

Just how long of a wait would you have to get in to see that doc that's out of state? Does he/she sound better than the others? Have you ever considered alternative medicine? Maybe you could find a doc that uses both abx & herbals? ...just a few thoughts.

Hey Jennie,
If you are interested in checking out some alternative medicine options, here is a good link (it can be found in the thread "New to Lyme?") to several well-known Lyme-literate Medical Practitioners:
www.lymediseaseresource.com/Protocols.html

Should you (or anyone else) be interested in using Chinese Medicine (Traditional or Modern) there are some good links that I can provide for those as well. All a person need's to do is ask!!!

Hope this helps a bit!!

Thank you Trav.. I am going to check out the web site now... :)
I am going to stop to my dr tomorw and get my referal and blood work so I can fax it over to the new doctor I also have to list all my meds and a brief history of my health. Do you think that my dr would list all my meds for me lol and I hope he doesnt get bothered that I am going somw were else..
