The nuero said that just to boot me out prob since I mentioned "lyme". That one was a real *****.
I googled the blood test and had a reg Dr do that, I was neg.
History, not an easy answer:
1)Had my first tick as a child, prob several.
2)Being an out doors kid (woods/water), I got more ticks. And got sick in Mexico every year.
3)Body stiffness started as a pre-teen and teen, but had no known diagnosis of anything, Drs did NOTHING in the 70's. NOTHING. Mine still smoked too lol. Was this from ticks, autoimmune, both? Never will know.
4)Then around 20, the full blow lyme episode with rash and everything "lyme" happened in the following months. Had HMO insurance that did NOTHING. Months after that, total body buzzing for a couple years, off and on in different parts, moving around. Drs did nothing.
5)In 20's after Drs doing nothing, the buzzing slowed and stiffness (which was already there) increased. A lot. I forced myself to function. Had I not been a diehard elete athlete, I prob would have given up. My stubbornness kept me going. Athletics trainers were all puzzled. Drs cluless.
6)Hashi discovered around 28. Did my best on my own to deal with everything , met my athletic goal at thirty, slowed down some and eventually stopped mid/late thirties from to much stiffness and pain, the buzzing was by then a rare occurrence.
7)Forties sucked, thought I was dieing, very hard to work. Changed jobs for my handicapt needs. Learned thyroid, fired previous thyroid Drs, interviewed several more. Got thyroid managable per my sternness. Did I say Drs suck?
8)Around 45 studdied available online and library health information since Drs could care less. Big middle finger to those who did not even try. Learned all my various muscle release and nerve glides (to many past pots on this). It helped a little. Only PT thast helped was the Med-X.Reg PT did nothing. (Did I say most Drs cant do their job and they suck?)
9)Late forties went to llmd (which did not suck). Did gut first then ABX. Tested for many other things. Massive gene testing beyond 23/me. My muscle release techniques suddenly worked much better and had nothing new anymore, just delt with remaining damage control. Only my left ulnar nerve gets buzzy from my elbow now. Makes pinky feel weird.
10) Here I am today years later at 80-90% depending on the day
My body is still slightly stiff in AM, some days not so much- days differ per what I did DAYS before, not necessarily the DAY before.
That ARPWave nerve/muscle feedback workout electronic gismo did kinda kick my arse two days later (yesterday).
