Do my symptoms suggest LD or something else?

I've been dealing with stomach problems, and lower back / side pain (mostly when trying to sleep). Additionally my eyes burn most of the time, and it looks like a little black spot has formed in my right eye (floater?). My neck is very stiff (especially in the morning). This has been going on for a few months now. I've had a CT of my back / abdomen as well as a colonoscopy. Everything shows normal. I can't figure out what is going on sad

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi jordanmichael.


Did you ever see a LLMD and treat when you had the positive lyme test result in 2015?

I'm wondering if you've relapsed?

Here, take these tests and see how you come out.

Hey Girlie!

I did take antibiotics that my LLMD subscribed, but I'm also wondering if I relapsed.

Whatever is going on is wrecking my eyes now. They are so inflamed and I'm seeing floaters. My neck is always locked up too.

If I purposefully take a lot of Banderol / Samento to see if I herx, would that be a good experiment to see if it's linked to Lyme?

Would it be beneficial to get tested again?

I feel like I'm starting all over again.

Thanks!

If you've already treated an active lyme infection and got to remission...I don't know if I'd bother with testing again.
It sounds like you may have relapsed. How long did you treat for,and did you treat co-infections?
Were you symptom free when you stopped treatment?


Have you been to your LLMD since these symptoms started?

Sounds like it's worth a visit to the LLMD to get it checked out. The longer you wait, the harder it is to knock it back into remission. I've gotten neck stiffness and floaters while treating. I've not had any burning issues, but I know some people with lyme do.

Is there a difference between "relapse" and a longer "flare up"?
