I know this forum is not very active, but I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. My doc was checking my thyroid levels and apparently threw in a metabolic panel out of habit. Turns out my eGFR came...
I've been in constant contact with my doc. She has no concerns....
I'm pretty sure these are all anxiety symptoms and I shouldn't be worried they're part of some larger disease like ms or something, but I wanted to double check. I'm fairly confident they are given...
Exact same ones? So cool! I mean that sucks. I'm sorry you have it too, but I'm so glad it sounds just like anxiety. Phew! What a weird beast! I'm actually doing very well. Diet, sleep, and exercise...
I am really learning how weird, and real, anxiety physical symptoms can be. It's truly awe inspiring to me how the body can do that. Anyway, I know it can manifest in tons of different ways including...
I just wanted to add that I do not think I have MS. I'm not really worried about it, but her mentioning it made me freak out a little. These sensations don't hurt either. There is no pain. Just...
I apologize in advance because you've probably had so many anxious people come here convinced they have MS and rely on you for reassurance when you're dealing with a genuine diagnosis and your own...
Thank you!...
Can you tell me more about herbal treatments or send me a link to where I can find more information about that? Thank you for the feedback!...
I don't know exactly what to put in the subject heading. It's more a rambling of thoughts that I'm hoping someone can clarify for me. I have not been diagnosed with Lyme. I was tested 3 wks ago and...
Is this anxiety or something else? A sensation that it started to rain or that I got splashed by water. I don't know how else to describe it, but it feels so real that I feel like I must have water...
Wow! Thanks for the additional responses. :) Yes, it was me who was on steroids for 7yrs and weaned off literally weeks before my dog's diagnosis and then it was all downhill from there. I still have...
Oh and I do think my chest is hurting due to respiratory issues related to a cold/sinus infection/allergies because today I am stuffy, have a sinus headache, have been sneezing, and felt a little...
Thanks everyone. I appreciate the time you took to read my (too long) post and to respond. It's good to know that anxiety can cause physical symptoms other than when feeling anxious or during an...
One additional quick question...can the physical aspects of anxiety happen when you aren't in the middle of a panic attack? Like can you have chest pain and racing heart when you aren't actively...
Hi there. This is my first post. I hope I can avoid making it a novel. :) I have read many posts and was reassured by many. I'm hoping for some reassurance or if you can point me in the right...
Quick question: Is there more than one ELISA test or does that one test detect antibodies for HIV, Lyme, rotavirus, etc? I know there are no false negatives for HIV, but there can be for Lyme. Since...
I am on Doxycycline now for 21 days just in case. We'll see if that provokes anything. I imagine I'll start feeling worse if it's working and I'm killing the buggers, right? I am seriously wondering...
Can the CD 57 be used diagnostically? My understanding is that it should not be used to diagnose Lyme and even some LLMD's are no longer finding it to be a useful test. Bedsides the removal of large...
I got a copy of my lab results. My CD 57 is <20. All, but two of the areas were below range. Some were like <1. How is that possible? How am I not feeling awful then? I guess I don't understand it....
I spoke to my practitioner this morning. The other test she ordered was the ELISA test and it was negative. So right now I have a negative ELISA, a very low CD 57, and symptoms of extreme tingling in...
I was just diagnosed and I have severe neuropathy. I don't think there are any LLMD's in New Mexico, but reading old threads leads me to believe there is one in Colorado Springs. I'd also pay for...
So I shouldn't be worried that I'm really advanced given my low CD 57 and extreme neuropathy? I mean worried in the sense that this is the end of my life or that I'll become psychotic or something. I...
I forgot to add: My doc ordered blood work and I think it was looking at two things. I'm pretty sure one was CD 57 and I believe that's the one that came out very low. I am unsure what the other one...
Hi everyone. I'm new to the board with a recent diagnosis of Lyme as of today. I have to get a copy of my results, but my blood work (after 8 days) came back positive for Lyme. I am unsure about my...
