Ive been bit 3 times over the last 20 years. I can remember alot of odd stuff happening back in 2003 then again in 2006 and finally my last battle has been since 0ct 2009. I had been getting the run around.....my favorite one is...."you need to see a psychiatrist, there is nothing wrong with you!"
After being pumped with pills for over a year I had an emotional breakdown while on an antibiotic for a "sinus infection"....and when they wanted to put me on even more meds I called a holistic dr. and got seen the next day. During her hour and a half interview she asked if I had ever been but by a tick and I told her yes so she ran the tests which came back positive. She put me on doxy 200mg a day. When I started reading on here I made contact with an llmd and saw her a week and a half ago and she is running more tests and checking for co-infections. Im waiting on the results which I should have by wednesday which is going to be my telephone meeting with her. She did say that the doxy wasnt adequate(which I learned on here) but she was going to just keep me on it until she got the results for the co-infections. She also advised me that the "emotional breakdown" I had was a herx (which I also learned about on here :)) . So that is pretty much where I stand right now.
Im just so angry that its taken this long to be diagnosed!!!!
