Hello after spending countless visits to multiple clinics and amassing huge clinical bills im seriously considering that I may have lyme as I live in minnesota the epidemic state for lyme.
I will break this down in small paragraphs for your reading pleasures.
Ill begin with im a 28 year old male who used to work on a tree farm in a small town in Minnesota the area I worked in is a honey hole for deer hunting along with l otsa grassland and woods.
I had left work one day and came home and went to bed the work was long hours and really strenuous there for I would come home and litterally pass out.
I woke up one morning and went to the bathroom and well I was hold in my self up with my hands on my hips I had felt something. I looked down it was my worst fear a tick was feeding on my right hip.
Being deathly afraid of them I ripped him off and flushed him ( in a frantic panic not sure if the head came off or not) then continued on with my life.
Then it seemed to start a few months to maybe a year later. I always was fit healthy and had perfect skin (so nice girls would pet my face and and give me compliments) then I started noticing small amounts of acne on my face neck and back.
Over time it had began to get worse so bad to the point it had began to become cystic It started with a huge boil on my neck which I had surgically removed I was given antibiotics after the surgery and I noticed it started clearing up my acne.
After this time I was taken off antibiotics. On an off note I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid always had been hyperactive even as an adult l had problems holding jobs and decided maybe adderall would help me so maybe figured the acne was due to adderall as I never really liked taking meds it was something new to my body.
After I had been taking adderall I began to experience night sweats, infections of different types multiple times I a year lucid dreams, mind fog, irritability, mood swings, mania symptoms, wide spread acne, more sebaceous cysts now on the neck hair line face inner thigh and behind the ear lobes.
Then I started developing scalp issues sores and lumps that if u pick them them they ooze clear or sometimes green fluid also dry up and flake (looks like oatmeal). I started antibiotics again and topical for my scalp it all went away.
Then the script
ran out I was taken off again. Later on more cysts and surgery had a antibiotic resistant version of a staph infection I was told by a surgeon which other drs claimed it to be MRSA which was not the case just a resistant staph. (Inside of my thigh)
After the course of antibitoics for the staph. all my problems came back again I have horrid acne that discharges copious amounts of white puss sometimes clear liquid.
Ive been rushed to the ER once per year for a lung infection. (Happens annually)
Still getting gianourmous cysts all re-occurring in the place they had been before minus the one on my cheek bone (thank god) I l itterally had soaked a wash rag after draining that one.
I now go thru constant joint back and neck pain, hot and cold sweats, face flushes abnormal amounts of sweating I'd would soak t-shirts sleeping in them and wake up literally freezing, bouts of fatigue one sec im dead tired and the next im wired and my mind races like a Ferrari.
A distinct but peculiar body sweat/odor even though I shower up to 3 times a day sometimes to keep my skin dry and not oily.
Fuzzy pulsating brain feeling will come and go.
Migraines (haven't had one In a while)
Digestive and bowl problems.
Bladder weaknesses.
I know this is odd but as many bills ive obtained and cannot pay I cannot go to the clinics here there are only two in my town a friend of mine here has been diagnosed with lymes and currently fighting a hard battle im wondering if from what I listed to your knowledge and experience if I may have the 2nd or 3rd stage of chronic lymes...
Please feel free to ask my anything im an
open book I have no where else to turn at the moment.
