New Here .. where do I post a symptom timeline ?

Hi ,

My other post turned rather lengthy , but somewhere in there I had wondered where I could share/post a symptom timeline that i typed out . It is very long , sorry but my symptoms started when I was 10 yrs old and I am now 36 1/2 . So thats alot of years and this illness I have ( not diagnosed properly yet ) has changed and morphed into all kinds of lovely pains and tortures over the years . Sometimes I think back and think " oh remember when I use to have that weird tingly vibrating feeling in my chest that felt it went into my throat all the time for months .. wonder wth that was all about !! ?? "

And just some of the symptoms that I have been through would make any regular doctor say I am downright crazy , I know I am not , they just dont have the right tests to find what it is that is causing all of it . I get so frustrated , and I just sometimes wish I could get out of my body and get some relief . Other times its bearable and I just try to remain positive . It helps I love life and I love Mother Nature and that I have 3 children that need me so that keeps me pushing through for the next "remission" .

LottaAnsy,
There's really no need to post a long history, you can go to our "New to Lyme? Start here!" thread and have a look at the symptom lists in there for all of the tick-borne infections and see if you find your symptoms explained. That's how I figured out that's what I was dealing with!

I was first infected with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever at the age of 7 and I'm 49 now, so I too can most definitely understand what you are probably going through.

I had two children and I too went through those periods of just pushing until the 'whatever it is' would calm down, but I found out later that it wasn't really a good thing to do. You are taxing your adrenals and possibly other organs. So please do through that thread I suggested. There is a whole bunch of other important information in there, so read through the whole thing.

You are no longer alone though!!! We are here to help guide you and help you to understand not only the info that you need, but what all is going on with your body! We have such a great group of people here, I'm sure that you will find this is the place to be!! LOL!!

If you find you match up with too many of the symptom lists, you will need to find either a Holistic practitioner, or a LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor) to help you through the healing. These are very complex diseases that few doctors truly understand, so you will need to learn as much as you can about them, but -as I said earlier - we are here to help!!
