I recently turned 53 yrs old. Im an LPN. Finally 3 yrs ago I got a job which I loved working in Primary Care. Monday thru Friday, no weekends, no holidays. Every Nurses dream.
I was taken out of work in May due to my symptoms, then finally diagnosed with Lyme in July by a LLMD.
I have since lost my position, but still am employed by this hospital.
My PCP has me out of work until Dec to see if any improvement. My symptoms now are severe joint pain, pain in bottoms of feet, fatigue, shortness of breath, memory loss, fevers, nausea and vomiting, urinary tract infections and or just symptoms, headaches.
I see my LLMD next week for follow up on my Mepron, Bioxin and Doxy. No improvement, s/s worse.
Does anyone ever return to work? I actually miss my job. But obviously can not return yet. This is so depressing and frustrating.
