Hey, I'm 25. Got a positive lymes test in the beginning of November 2012. I was having tingliness and numb hands and feet since about 2009.... So I am guessing that's around when I got it.
I've been on doxycycline and ceftin since November then got shots in the butt of ceftin as well.
My symptoms are getting worse everyday,
I am in excruciating pain with joint and muscles. Now my spine and neck hurt so badly I have to lay down with ice and heat. I am really scared I can't hold my head up for more than 30 min max without getting sick and a migraine. I am young, my two kids depend on me and I feel like I am turning into an invalid.
Tell me is there anything I can do besides waste money by going to the emergency room at this point? I am lost at what to do!

There are so many things you could look into.

I don't know what you could specifically do for your pain. I have not found anything that helps significantly. I tend to use advil and turmeric/curcumin in high doses. Magnesium used to help some of my pain levels as well. In general I think there are a few things you want to consider:

1. Make sure you have a good LLMD. I assume you do based on the treatment you are on currently which is quite aggressive.

2. Consider yeast, mold, parasites, viruses, co-infections, nutritional deficiencies, immune dysfunction, biofilms, adrenal and thyroid issues etc. It's important to look into and address each of these issues as they are all very common factors for those with chronic Lyme.

I'm in the process of switching doctors actually. My previous dr turned out to be only a rehab doctor that knew a little of lymes but not as much as I thought
I'm hoping to get the iv this week but its scary I'm just learning about co infections and its a lot! I will try the magnesium thank you
