Hello All,
I was recently diagnosed with LD (Dec 11, 2012). I had been seeing my primary care doctor for the last two years for chronic fatigue, constipation, and overall lack of vitality. The most that tests showed was low iron, so I figured that was it. However, my symptoms progressed into muscle twitching, tongue lesions, lightheadedness, and eventually, one day I fainted. The ER visit after the fainting episode is what revealed the LD. My current doctor has me on 100mg of doxy twice a day for 30 days, & he does not believe in chronic LD.
I started to feel better after two weeks, but am now feeling worse again, and it's scaring me. I'm scared that I will not be better when the doxy is up, and my doctor doesn't seem to be sympathetic. I would like to find a LLMD in the Boston, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut area, ASAP.
I will be immensely appreciative of any help and advice. Thank you.
