So, the llmd dr's office I went to to have my bloodwork done called me today and said my test was negative. I couldn't really think what all to ask at the time, except she also said the dr. had written written on my symptoms list I had filled out, not a very high possibility of Lyme. I know there can be a false negative so I'm kind of at a loss.
Also I guess I'm curious what those of you that have dealt with Lyme think of my symptoms.
They have been: joint pain, muscle pain, creaking neck, popping and cracking joints, especially in ankles and feet, tingling in hands and feet, aching and burning in feet, especially in the morning, but lately through the day too, stiffness and pain in neck and shoulders, numbness on left side, burning mouth syndrome, pressure in head, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, sleep difficulties, shortness of breath, heart palpitations.
What else do you think they would be looking for?
No one wants to have Lyme, but I guess I was 99 percent sure that's what it was, so it was almost disapointing that it was negative. Does that make sense? I did start taking some natural things and the fatigue is definately better, so I thought maybe I should continue with that, adding cat's claw and maybe grapefruit seed extract and see where it goes from there.
Any input would be appreciated.
