lyme and health anxiety

I have a problem with trying to distinguish between lyme symptoms and possible symptoms of other illnesses. It stresses me out a lot. It doesn't help that some months before getting lyme, I did have some major health problems and I feel I never fully recovered and then lyme got added on top of it. I know that a lot of you can relate to the worries of other things going on. Not enough is understood about lyme so when you go to get checked for anything, a lot of times they don't take symptoms as seriously as they probably should.

This is what I like about holistic and integrative medicine, and particularly for me, Chinese medicine. It looks at the whole body. If something's dysfunctional, it treats the whole condition. Doesn't always matter what the cause is. Obviously, the more you know, the better you can target, but if there's an infection, it treats your body to better eradicate ANY infection. If it's autoimmune, it treats your body to better handle it's own response. Liver problems, you strengthen the liver. Blood problems you strengthen the blood. And they can see everything that's connected, and look at your whole body for clues.

In some ways it's like just treating symptoms, but at the same time its treating them by letting your body do what it's SUPPOSED to do. No matter the label, it works to create an overall properly functioning body.
