Thank You P for your kind words,
Yes lyme a true nightmare in our family for far too long.
Yes I have had lyme for 25 years. My husband got a bite last summer that he is still treating. He has had a long history with lyme for many many years but really always felt well enough to function and fully participate in life and every activity.
My son was bitten when a baby. Was treated a few times over the years but never any herx. Symptoms of back pain at the end of last year prompted us to go herbal route for lyme...... He also has a complicated history, which makes sorting this out really hard......(some drug use at various times that makes me wonder about the psychiatric ramifications from that.. ) .. one would think that OUR FAMILY would know what lyme looked like but it is so different in everyone, even in our family..... His psychiatric symptoms are crazy. His pain is off the charts. He is 3000 miles away with no insurance.......very little money. He is a mess. I feel like I am too sick to get to him. He is also a 30 year old. He can't work......
I really do not know how to approach this. I feel like we need an accurate diagnosis to know how to proceed....(yep, if its lyme I know hard to do...) If lyme, a psych diagnosis is not going to help......conversely, if this is a true psychiatric thing, lyme herbs won't necessarily get to that........ Trying to figure out where to start.....
ARGH.........
thanks
