Hi gfields, I just wanted to chime in that I have Lyme and co's and have experienced what you're describing. I had chronic tonsil problems seemingly "out of nowhere" about 7 years ago (before...
I don't know for sure, but I believe so. My doctor just told me this week that I'm hypoglycemic, which does run in the family, but I have no doubt that Lyme is playing a part in my body's ability to...
Hey sweetpea, I am currently taking this. I've only been on it for about a month, so it's difficult to say for sure if the overall improvement of my joint pain is the natural ebb and flow of my Lyme...
Hi dislikes_ticks, After reading about your experiences, I feel inclined to share my experiences with Lyme. I hope to offer you validation (not that anyone wants to be reassured they may have Lyme),...
Hi Thoreau, I'm sorry to hear of both your and your wife's health concerns. I am not a health professional, but wanted to share my experience- that's why we're here, right? I was diagnosed with Lyme...
Hi kyev, welcome to the forum, although I'm sorry that you're here due to heart symptoms! I just wanted to let you know that yes, I have Lyme and yes, I have heart symptoms. I had been to urgent care...
Okay, good for you for being so "on-it." That's the only and best thing to do right now. Being proactive like you are will get you far. Again, symptomatic or not (but you are symptomatic still),...
When did your initial symptoms/rash start? No matter what, I would get in to a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor or Naturopathic Doctor as soon as you can. I was diagnosed with Lyme when I was 10, after I...
Misty_Blue, I'm sorry to hear about your long battle with Lyme. I am only writing because I can relate to that. I have no recommendations as far as Lyme and pregnancy go, as I myself am trying to...
I have been to the chiro as well, and can tell the difference between an injury/overuse and the constant migratory pain. Thanks so much, Breaking Free. I feel really good about my appointment. It was...
I'm sorry that you're going through it as well! I obviously don't believe that it's related to aging for you either! You're too young to feel like that as well! And you have Lyme! As far as I'm...
Hi, Breaking Free, I'm sorry to hear about your experience with your LLMD. I do hope it gets better and they provide you with the treatment and care that you need. I can say that I experience the...
I wish I had more insight as well. All I can do is relate. Like you said, it's greater than just the word "fatigue." I hope your doctor has some answers for you. Good luck and keep us posted!...
Oh gosh, yes I know that all too well. I found recently that Lyme is causing poor adrenal function for me- my cortisol levels are low in the morning and early afternoon, which causes me to feel as...
I agree with Sueg. Fatigue is one of my most frustrating symptoms. I feel the same way all the time (and right this moment). Once I sit down, I try to get up to go get a glass of water or lunch, and...
Hi Sueg, Yes, experience this often. On typical and bad days, I often start off thinking/hoping I'm well enough to run errands and in the middle of them I have a complete crash and have to stop and...
Hi Rumble, I wholeheartedly agree with all the statements made before me. I was only recently diagnosed with Lyme (although I've had it for 16 years), but I can relate to all of your symptoms, as...
Hi there, I am so sorry you are having a hard time. So many of us can relate- you're not alone. I'm glad you reached out here. I don't have any experience with Rifampin (yet), and I know that's what...
Good morning, thank you both. Yes, I made an appointment with an LLND near me for mid-August that I have heard good things about! Looking forward to that appointment very much. Thank you for the...
Hi everyone, My doctor had been on vacation but emailed me last week to tell me I was "positive," that IgG showed up. So without seeing the results, I've been researching what this means, opposed to...
Hi! Thank you so much for you reply. I did take a look at the "New to Lyme?" thread and will continue to explore the recommended links. I've updated my profile- thanks for letting me know and for...
Hi everyone, I have been reading posts on this forum for a few weeks now, as I was highly suspicious I had Lyme. This was confirmed on Monday through bloodwork. My naturopath said he knows how to...
