to RagingBull I am not sure how to PM members unless they have to have it activated but my email is there If you would like to email me, I share a similar story of symptoms as you and I am in a...
Thanks for the replies it has been a hard week and trying to keep everything together and worrying left and right about what's gonna happen and all....
Hey everyone sorry i havent been on in a bit, but the past few weeks i havent really been in touch with anyone, not my groups, not facebook, not on text, nothing really. But anyway its been...
Damn so you can't lose weight at all with lyme and it's hopeless? Damn that sucks to know. I have to since my blood pressure was a bit high, I guess I could try diet and light walking, or I do have...
hey everyone, does anyone know of any easy ways to drop weight by doing light work outs when you have certain lyme and heart issues? What type of exercise do you all do? I am overweight for my height...
hey everyone, sorry have not been on in a while, lots of stress lately between starting college classes up again and my uncle being in the hospital for back pain and haullucinations so I have been...
Update, its not as raised and red as it was earlier this morning, so i guess that may be good, i guess you cant really tell by the bad quality pics, but thats def a new spot i believe, still...
I will post images below, i did not notice this before i went to sleep last night, I even had a dream that i got bit by a tick so this is all too weird! The picture may be hard to see but this is on...
I told him I was a bit hesitant about the celaxa but I may try it. And yea Trav I found that a bit odd as well, he said he could prescribe me an anxiety med but he wants me to try the celaxa first. I...
Thank you, although the doctor was kind of condescending, he was alright I guess. He is confident that my anxiety is causing all this but only the tests will tell. Sucks that I have to wait to take...
So the appontment wasn't exactly great, but not terrible either. He addressed that my pulse was pretty high for someone my age and my blood pressure was a little high for my age. (I did have anxiety...
Thanks yall, I am pretty nervous I won't lie and my anxiety has been bad lately but I am doing this to be safe just in case anything is wrong, hoping it goes well but I will see what happens and let...
I made an appointment with the cardiologist for this week, so hopefully all goes well, I felt a tad bit better today but the bad symptom today was anxiety. I will follow up and let you all know how...
Lol thank you Traveler ! I had some organic green tea before and nibbled on some organic blueberries so I guess that's somewhat close enough haha....
Thank you Lymie Girl, I appreciate it, I will try to relax for today....
Thanks for the replies, I am supplementing with magnesium also, the discomfort kind of just happens, not with real movement or anything, only thing I can do for now is wait to see the cardio doctor....
I hope that's the case BDL, I hate being unsure, the pain is in the sternum/middle in my chest sometimes, and then it goes to the upper left peck area, and sometimes hits the arm, Mainly middle of...
Thanks to you both for being so helpful and supportive! I took a half an aspirin to be safe so hopefully that helps. I do not have any history in my family if heart disease or anything like that,...
I am not in treatment at the moment but will be soon, I only saw a regular doctor who did a chest x ray which came back normal, then she did an ekg which came back alright but my heart rate went up...
Even after the urgent care and ER cleared me the other day, I am still having the chest discomfort and heart symptoms, I can't just go to the ER again cause I can't afford that right now, I guess I...
I will try that thanks, I guess I have to have faith in them, I have a hard time believing since my chest symptoms are there all the time but I just want to end the worry and it's been stressing me...
Thank you, I am trying to stay calm and suppress the anxiety a bit today, I hope they got things right at the urgent care and hospital because I need to ease my worries, I know that I should believe...
So I was complaining of chest pain/discomfort for the last week, think I made a post on here as well. I went to the urgent care yesterday and they x rayed me which came back clear, and they sent me...
Thanks for all the advice, I am not on any herbs at the moment just vitamins and supplements, not on abx either. As for how I am doing, it's back and forth and waxing and waning, comes and goes, all...
Oh and to Traveler, I have been to the urgent care emergency right away when this comes on, had it checked two or three times, all they do is just give me an ekg or just listen to my heart and tell...
When they would take my blood at the regular doctors, I would notice how dark and thick it looked, none of them even commented on it, as of my last recent bloodwork (in October) it didn't look too...
Thanks for the replies, I have forgotten to take my magnesium the past few days so that could be a factor, I haven't gotten any sleep I was up with my uncle for most of the night helping him out, I...
I have not seen Dr.B , can you please email me some info on this doctor? I have a good one for you in Roswell I can provide you with the name if you email me, I am in the metro Atlanta area....
Haven't gotten treatment yet or seen one yet mainly because of money issues, having to save up and all, oh that and most people down here don't believe in lyme so it's hard to find a supportive...
Maybe I will just try to get some sleep and calm myslelf down a bit, I can let thoughts and stress and symptoms get to me at times and then it stirs up my anxiety and uncertainty....
Nah I have never been to the cardiologist just had my heart checked out by the regular doctors, with ekg and them listening to it and all and they said it's good, but then it's like why am I having...
The past week has been a bit rough for me, a bit stressed, my uncle has copd and is not doing too well and that's on my mind. But I'm also worried about my heart and brain/head now. I have been...
I have the appointment on Saturday and I am still nervous about it at this moment so I hope all goes well, but then again if I was unlucky enough to get bitten by a lyme tick when I wasn't even a...
I will try to think positively thank you, just praying at this point, so nervous about it, hopefully it goes well I just feel like I have really bad luck with everything that's been going on the past...
I will keep posted thanks, it's just a waiting game at this point and basically praying all will be well, I have had a good amount of bad luck the past year so hopefully the chain doesn't continue on...
I appreciate that, Garden, and the kind people on this forum, I try to stay off many of the Internet sites cause they induce anxiety for me so I am not around most of my sites that I am a member of a...
Thank you Dancingbear, I am going next week since it was the earliest they had around my area, I guess it won't hurt to wait a week, but it was something I just didn't wanna hear and has me freaking...
A lot has been going on lately, symptoms have been easing up a tiny bit but it is day to day for me cause the next day I can always have a symptom, trying to be as healthy as I can with the budget I...
Thanks for your reply, no I have not been on treatment at all, I had the usual doxy a few months after the tick bite and then a few months after that my symptoms just started getting gradually better...
Ok so I have to get on to making a life for myself instead of just obsessing over my mental and some physical symptoms. I need to get a degree and get on with getting a real job but with this one...
I have had the cortisol test done the 24 hour one, I will post my results below, I don't know how to read these well so maybe someone can help me out with this, maybe this could be the problem?...
In convinced it's never gonna go away for me, this symptom makes my body feel out of sorts and floating and like I'm legit dying or something, it's scary af, my heart feels really slowed down...
I am not sure about that orchid, I mean it could be, but when I first got it back in May of 2014, I had high anxiety and was scared every day to where I couldn't even look at a tv without getting...
That is a good attitude to have. I have it at a constant low grade level all day every day so i can kind of control it, but sometimes it flares up for a couple hours on random days , I really wish i...
It has been described to me by doctors as brain fog, although i really don't believe it is core brain fog, it is something weird instead. I know brain fog has to do with mainly concentration and...
I use Extra Virgin Organic coconut spread it is made with the coconut oil. I dont use the core coconut oil at the moment but the spread is great to put on certain gluten free organic snacks or to...
Thank you Trav, you definitely helped ease my anxiety a bit. I appreciate it, I am just always checking for ticks now ever since my first bite and when I saw that this morning I freaked out so bad...
So I got a red bump on my hand and I am wondering if it is a tick bite. I am skeptical though because on my hand I think I would have noticed it since I am always very observant of the top of my...
