I agree with MelaB! And New York is THE place to get Lyme!!! I can't believe doctors there are so uneducated. Okay, well I guess I can. Take the antibiotics! When I was bit on my thigh, my whole arm...
I would most definately get it looked at and try to get on antibiotics quickly. If it is Lyme the sooner you attack it the better. It can spread quickly and symptoms don't usually start showing up...
I do 20 minutes at 146 and I sweat from head to toe even though my head sticks out. I've found that I need that slightly higher heat to get up a good sweat. You can tell that it's doing something to...

I was offered some sort of electrodiagnostic bodyscan at my clinic to diagnose some of what's going on with me. I turned it down and now I've had a friend actually have it done in another state. She...

Here's a link that you may find some helpful information at. It's best to do your own research and learn as much as you can. Even LLMD's are fallible to some degree....
Well, just the fact that your WB showed positive bands means that you've been exsposed to Lyme at some point. With all your symptoms the odds are that the infection is alive and active. I was tested...
It took a year and over a dozen specialists til one finally did a WB for me and it showed 5 positive bands. I lived in an endemic area where everyone and their brother are getting Lyme and I started...
Just curious how many have noticed Raynaud's with Lyme....
ALL my joints crack and I have a few muscle spasms or twitches a day. I also have on average 8 myoclonic jerks per minute. I've had problems with my spine 3 times. They did MRI's but I can't remember...
Yeah, my pain is deep and sharp and will last a few seconds and then show up again later in another random place. I used to think I must have bone cancer! Of course now I know that that's not how...
Shooting bone pain and traveling numbness were among my first symptoms of Lyme. The numbness can be in either just a toe, part of the hand or face, or a whole arm or leg. It's worse when I'm herxing...
