Im at ends on a diagnosis, i live in Australia with no known lyme like illness here but in some ways im hoping that something rises.
Ive been sick 10 plus years now can not find out whats wrong with me.
Digestive issues
Fatigie
Bad Brian fog
spacey groggy vision all the time
Anxiety
Depression

Ive been in and out of doctors my whole life with blood tests, mri, ct scan, xray and ultra sounds.

My question is, can you have lyme disease without any pain. I get muscle spasms occasionally but live pain free.

Early years i had bad pains in ankles and knees for years but doctors put it down as growing pains but they were painful.

Does not matter the name of the disease you are sick because you have too many toxins in your body. You have to get them out. We are surrounded by toxins and they make us sick. Look at your environment and try to identify the toxins you are exposed to. the bodies way of dealing with toxins is the vitamins and minerals in the food we eat. Many are not eating real food but food that has chemicals which are toxic to the body. Check out your diet and make sure you are eating real food and not chemicals. I found doing a detox was the key in getting better. One of the biggest problems we have today is heavy metal toxicity. Most people have mercury fillings and mercury is very toxic to the body. If you are getting a lot of vaccines they are toxic. Our oceans are full of pollution so if you are eating a lot of the wrong kind of fish you are exposing yourself to toxins. The four things necessary for good health are proper diet, proper sleep, proper exercise and prayer and meditation. Dr. Bergman explains it very well.

Hi DillyB!
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.

If you haven't yet, please do read through our "New to Lyme" thread that sits at the top of the forum, as it's packed with helpful and important information.

Yes, people can have Lyme without having pain - although you did say you went through a period of pain earlier.

And, Lyme disease is on every continent, just because the 'officials' don't wish to recognize this, doesn't change a thing. This group may be of some help to you - it's the Australian Lyme support group:
www.lymedisease.org.au/

You can also complete this questionnaire to help you understand if you should be concerned (which it sounds like you should be): lymeontario.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Horowitz-Questionnaire.pdf

I encourage you to keep reading and asking questions here!

Hi dillyb94 -

I'm so sorry you're experiencing those symptoms - I've been there - many of us have. It's miserable.

Diagnosis is tricky because so many different dysfunctions trigger the same body systems malfunctions, resulting in similar symptoms. Every single one of the symptoms you listed could be caused by a couple of tick-borne infections (including Lyme), GI damage, and/or yeast/fungal overgrowth. Or even endocrine issues. And of course, those categories of health issues seem to be least understood by MDs, even many NDs. Compound a situation, like what most of us Lymees are experiencing, and it's nearly impossible to get an accurate diagnosis.

I don't know what treatment modalities you've tried but that might be good to share. And please, absolutely, read the New to Lyme/ thread that Traveler posted about - it has invaluable info and might also help point you in the right direction.

And be sure to check out the yeast/fungal overgrowth post on p. 2 of that thread - this might be the easiest to start with and might help clarify what other issues you might have that are complicating a diagnosis.

And as Traveler shared - keep asking questions.

I've heard of other Australians suffering with lyme.

It does exist in Australia, to my knowledge.

I just googled:

Hello...I'm very sorry you are feeling poorly. Have you been tested for autoimmune disease (connective tissue disease?)
