Just wanted to chime in and say I also had major uti, urinary, & kidney issues with my Lyme & co's. At one point it really felt as if whatever organs I had " down there" were rotting inside me. I didn't realize I had Lyme & cos yet , and actually thought my organs were failing .
Like you, I had uti like symptoms, but no uti.
It was very painful, and while it wasn't my first symptom, it came long before the addition of many others. Just like everyone else on here, I would urge you to see a llmd &/or begin herbal treatment.
In my opinion, how you got it isn't as important as the fact that you clearly have it. I agree with Girlie- Maybe you have had it for awhile & were not symptomatic until the stress ( eaither physical or emotional) of the massage incident brought it out. I think that's quite likely.
I know I had Lyme & many coinfections for years, and what finally did me in & made my symptoms very obvious was a stressful event. Even since beginning treatment , physical or emotional stress still will cause a major crash.
Seriously, I don't wish to sound rude, but I think if you don't go to an llmd or begin a serious herbal protocol asap- you are doing yourself a major disservice.
I can only speak for myself, but I wish I'd had the info and ability to begin treatment earlier-before I lost pretty much everything I cared & worked my whole life for to these diseases.
And honestly, because you are having such a hard time believing you are suffering from Lyme & it's coinfections- I think going to an llmd who can properly evaluate your situation would be better than beginning an herbal protocol that you may not really put your all into - because you are having trouble believing what's going on.
I wouldn't waste money on a private investigator... save it for a good llmd
who cares how you got it? Just get rid of it!
