I have asked myself all those questions numerous times. But for the first time in years I do have hopes that the lyme community will get more attention and I cross my fingers that some regulations...
I think that depends on the extent of the damage done before the disease is gone. But I think a lot of the problems would go away. I mean, drs can't find anything on tests, no signs of things wrong...
There could be a lot of lyme related reasons for that. I had the same issues years ago when lyme caused pancreatic enzyme insufficiency. So in layman terms, my body couldn't digest food or absorb...
I am sorry this whole lyme deal is so difficult to get drs to pay attention to. I hope you have a sympathetic dr who will at least try to do some research. Good luck. I can't really give advice on...
stutterbug, I went untreated up until about 4 or 5 years ago... and then only had 2 months of iv antibiotics before the dr wouldn't work with me anymore. I have not had any treatment since, but am...
Congrats!! Enjoy the ceremony....
I am only 28 but I have had lyme symptoms since very early childhood. It isn't always the length of time that matters though so ask away....
I am sure it is not all your fault, and it is good that you notice it. Personality changes are hard to cope with and just the stress of the disease will make anyone cranky. Good luck....
the lyme bacteria can be seen in spinal fluid just like it can in blood. Probably more so. But I would ask your dr how it would change treatment before you do it. If you are going to get the same...
Congrats on the house! Moving is stressful, and I hope the rest goes smoothly for you. I would say to try to relax but I understand it is hard to do in such life-changing circumstances. Sending you...
I honestly can't answer that question. I imagine it would be different for everyone on how much they recover. Some go back to full health and others have to live with the pain lyme leaves behind. If...
I lost a lot of my ability to exercise in the last year and a half, since I had to stop working. I was in great shape before though, too skinny but all muscle (I landscaped and installed satellites...
Dr Korn's nurse called me last night but I was at my daughter's track practice. I will get on and post more after she calls me back....
just another annoying neuro symptom. One that gets on my nerves, literally....
I think your first concern should be finding a new neurologist who isn't anti-lyme, or at least one who will actually pay attention to results of tests I can only assume he ordered. Why run tests if...
That is one of my common symptoms, and leads to severe headaches if I don't relax it. I am out of Xanax now so I have to wait until I see my new dr since my old one is too far to drive to. I think...
Martha, don't feel sorry for me. I'm not doing as poorly now. Those were the issues I started out with, or the ones that made me pay attention. I had been in pain and had anxiety issues my entire...
Brock, I would see another dr to get tested again. With all I have been through if I had a chance to stop it when it started I would have jumped on that opportunity. I would think a doctor with a...
I'm sorry to hear that. I am usually a person that respects all life and don't even kill flies. But ticks, I just apologize to the universe and kill them anyway....
Hey Martha, I have been catching up on your story and was interested in getting that information about Dr Korn and the CDC too. I am leaning heavily towards Dr Korn's newest method where he destroys...
