Hello everyone! I've just found this forum and I am sure that all of you can help me with my problem. I am 26 years old and I live in Romania, a country with no LLMD. 18 years ago I was bitten by a tick that was removed without care and no antibiotics after. This year I had some blood work done because I was feeling really tired and my joints hurt(especially the hand joints) and the results came negative to everything so I had done some Lyme tests. In Romania there aren't many options but I have positive IgM antibodies for BB 31.6UA/ml and positive antibodies at line blot p25 Ospc for B. afzelii, B. burgdorferi, B. garinii and B. spielmanii. The lab said Ospc are highly sensitive and highly specific. I also had done a dark field microscopy that showed Borrelia and Bartonella. I immediately started treatment with cefuroxime axetil 500mg x2times/day for 20 days, and from the 5th day of treatment I started clindamycin 600mgx2times/day for 30 days. So, 2 antibiotics together. After cefuroxime axetil I started doxy 200mg x2times/day. Now i am taking climdamicy and doxy. My simptoms seem to be worsening. I have yeast so I take fluconazole too. I must say I have a very faint facial palsy, some swollen painful joints... All my symptoms look like this: The hands are painful daily, my knee and hip pain goes and leaves. I have terrible nightmares all night from the moment I close my eyes. I feel my hands and feet burning, sometimes I have like hot waves running through my body, tingling sensations, muscular spasm, a couple years ago I had a grand mal seizure but no epilepsy, an asthma that manifests as cough two months per year, one swollen lymph node, burning sensation in my urethra without any bacteria in urine, without bacteria in my vagina, I have hsil precancerous cells in my cervix, I sometimes have the feeling I see a bug, I forget things, my mind is foggy, i lapse words, I have vascular problems in my right foot, I feel extremely tired, depressed and sometimes I feel like inside me I am trembling or shaking with a feeling like I am jumping of the roof and this feeling is horrible. It makes me have dark thoughts and can't stand it. Now on antibiotics more hot flashes, more painful joints, more jumping sensations and my urethra is burning... I feel so overwhelmed and can't afford to go to another country for blood tests or treatment. So any advise? Thank you!
