Girlie & Jessica mommy I would love to try an llmn. How could I find one ? My Lyme Elisa was negative but the neuro still ran the western blot anyways..thank god!...
Jessica mommy, I went to my primary care doctor instead and bought my blood test results with me. He was very insistent that I probably got reinfected this summer, although I haven't felt well for...
Thank you all! An llmn is deff something I can look into. I am going to the hospital because I'm in pain and don't know what else to do. Maybe this doctor will do some more testing on me. Hopefully a...
Thank you Jessicas mommy! I've tried to go see an llmd but really can't afford one at the moment. But I know I need one. I'm getting worse. So IgM just means active and not new? Ps. I always come...
Hello, Have recently taken another Lyme test. I think the Elisa came back negative. But my western blot was Lyme positive. The band's that where positive were IGM 23 and IGM 41 and IGG 41. The doctor...
Hello, I can tell you that Lyme causes all the symptoms you are experiencing right now. I go through the joint pain alot, and I also get very fatigue :( Read the new to Lyme post it has great...
Sayadina, thank you for those suggestions! I will definitely try them. I have heard many great things about cats claw! Do u take any vitamins for joint health too? I was wondering if that would help...
I would love some herbal solutions! Willing to try anything! My jaw is killing me along with my neck today. So horrid! I would like to know things that work for this discomfort as well! Thank you...
Right now I wish I could afford an llmd..I'm a college student making barely everything, and my mom is a single mom with a family of 5. We've been doing research to try finding someone we could...
After getting diagnosed with lyme my anxiety shot through the roof. I know that lyme causes anxiety, and also being sick makes your body go into a panic mode, naturally, because you are sick. I too...
Lyme pickle, I read on the new to lyme post that antibodies will still show up on the blood test within a year of getting infected. Shouldnt I be still testing positive? I did test positive for Lyme...
I am no longer testing positive for lyme. So to my doctor I am "negative" lately I am having severe pain in my knees, elbows, jaw, and neck. My muscles are killing me! :( :( I also randomly get this...
Grace, So I was going to see an llmd here in dutchess county but my mom got laid off of her job so I am unable to go and see him. We are still searching for one that takes insurance. Blue cross blue...
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a merry christmas! I remember loving Christmas and having energy to shop and bake for days. This year was so different from last year. It was excruciatingly painful...
Thank you traveler this makes a lot of sense! I have one more question for you a little off topic. My doctor has done two blood test on me this month. And both times my white blood cells come back...
Thanks everyone for your input! I was reading the getting started thread and I saw canker sores as a symptom. But I find it weird that mine only come with my menstrual. Just another annoyance to deal...
Ever since getting sick with lyme. I get one to two canker sores right before my period is coming. Additionally my mouth and tongue always hurt a bit. Is this a symptom ?...
Pirouette, That makes a lot of sense. I will definitely give that a try. I know it's going to take time to heal. I hope you will be able to get back to running again. How long after getting infected...
Garden peace, I was under the impression that exercising can help get rid of toxins which could make you feel better. But I will try the elliptical. I think I probably do push myself to hard. Only in...
Girlie, Do you think by exercising and sweating..getting rid of the toxins in the body it leads to a herx?...
Hello friends! I want to know if any of you have this symptom and what do you do about it? On the days where I'm feeling good I try to get up and exercise because my ultimate goal is to get back to...
Lymepickle, I'm so hating myself for this. I don't think this could be real. How do I tell my mom something like this? I hope the results are definitive. I don't want to worry about this anymore. It...
I have never seen a bite but before getting sick I did go hiking a lot...
Hello everyone. I just need to clear my mind, and this is not easy for me to talk about but need peace. I come from a very religious family and I really am a good girl. But we all make mistakes and...
I'm in the same boat. Tested positive on Elisa and western blot..but negative on another blood test. You deff have Lyme and I would continue the treatment. better to be safe than sorry, Lyme is...
Mauihawaii, lymebarthiker Thank you for your time and for being so helpful. It's so scary when you feel your health quickly declining and seems like you can't do anything about it because no one will...
Mariel, I have so much to learn about Lyme! I take magnesium baths and put a little peroxide in the bath too (read this in the forum), it helps for a little but for some reason my body feels like its...
Mariel, Thank you! I feel like I am at ease when I can relate to someone. I wouldn't wish this disease on anyone though. I really can't wait to meet my llmd, and maybe attack these bugs living in me...
Kate, No I haven't had that type of test yet. Hopefully the llmd will give me one. Give me a peace of mind or something...
Good news!I finally found an LLMD that I get to see next week. That only brings me a little bit of relief. The question that keeps running through my mind is what if it's not lyme? This brings me...
Wow! Thank you all for your support and advice. Even I was starting to believe I am crazy for a little while..but I have to pick myself up and tell myself I'm not and these symptoms are not normal. I...
I'm sick and tired everyday. Horrible Joint pain, malaise, no appetite, anxiety. The doctors have done every blood test. The "extensive" blood test from the infectious disease doctor came out...
Windypetunia, Exactly how I felt! I thought this would be a good form of therapy but I think I need to detox a little more first. Traveler, So no more deep tissue massages for now?...
Sarahm620, Yes I found an llmd..but I thought I should wait for my other blood test to get back..since he said he is also testing me for a more extensive Lyme test Kitkate, I think I'll try that out...
So the infectious disease doctor has dismissed my Lyme disease diagnoses. Even though my blood test at the hospital, which I waited a week for the results was positive. But he said with a month of...
Revive, That is exactly how I feel..except my feet will start to feel like there is something crawling in them..or twitch. I'm up right now cause I already feel like crap. I feel like I can't even...

Girlie, do you get the flu like symptoms? I feel like this is my biggest worry....

Hello everyone! I thought I read somewhere if you test positive for Lyme, that means you have caught it early. how true is that? The reason I am asking is because I feel like my body is not...
