Over the last year I feel as if my life is a living hell, im 21 years old for god sakes I dont want to feel like this but I do, to make things worse im a hypochondriac and if I eve notice a small problem with me I assume the worst.

Anyways on with the story, since about august of 2013 maybe earlier ive noticed several problems and stuff just keeps on poppin up, in the summer, of 2013, i was working alot im rural areas lots of grass bugs etc very high possibility got bitten by a tick.

Over the last year I have been feeling

On and Off Fatigue Tired Some Days Some Not
Muscle Twitches
Joint Pain
Headaches
Itchyness
Constant Yawning
Tremors
Trouble Concretating
Gassy

Hi DJ--This is a great forum to ask all your questions! I think since you were in grassy areas and were exposed to lots of bugs it is
possible that you have Lyme. Do you have rashes or bites?
If you do that would be a sign to show your doctor and your
symptoms are very Lyme-like.
From what I have read it is great that you are checking this early.
Don't wait on seeing a doctor, even at a walk-in clinic. Getting tested
and on meds is a great first step....

Sounds a heck of a lot like Lyme to me. I too have the muscle twitches, on and off fatigue, headaches, itchiness and yawning fits. The constant yawning is a newer one for me and occurs mostly mornings until I get out of bed.

Almost nobody dies from this disease so don't get yourself all crazy. You can get help. The next step should be to find a Lyme-literate doc or LLMD to get proper testing and treatment. If you have trouble locating one you can request one in your area by making a post on this forum or contacting ILADS.

I too am trying to get diagnosed. This is a good place for help, support and ideas. Hang in there and use this forum to ask questions. Lots of knowledgeable people on here.
Good luck!

The best thing to do would be to find a Lyme literate doctor to test you. You could start a new thread here titled "Looking for LLMD in________." Then you could get tested to rule it in or out. LLMDs have training to diagnose and treat, so that can save you a lot of wasted time on doctors who don't know about proper diagnosing. It's more than just a blood test. The sooner you start treatments if you do have it, the better. Good luck!
