Wow this forum always astounds me. Such good people here. I took a walk with my family today and felt very fatigued at the end. I told my mom how I felt and she believed me but also trusts the...
thank you everyone for all the replies. I realize it must be frustrating to see that I'm not proactive about my health. For the first years of feeling like something was wrong I was proactive,...
Wow 25 years, that's a long time. I was bitten 5 years ago but never had a rash or flu symptoms. I just felt crappy and knew something was wrong. Still dont know if it's Lyme, but I do know that it...
As in, does it get worse over time? I feel like most people's symptoms started with a bang, but mine seem to have gotten worse over 5 years. I'm feeling very weak, depressed, and fatigued...still...
Sorry I didn't respond for a while, I have been unpacking and getting ready for school. This morning I woke up and thought to myself "I can't do this". I thought I'd surely be stuck in bed. I had air...
Antonio - I appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness. I did not mean to say that Lyme isn't devastating or physically harmful. I meant to compare it to other diseases that have a higher...
Also thank you Traveler for the idea of trying Buhners protocol. I think I will look into it and give it a try. Can't hurt (too much) right? :) I hope you and Girlie both are doing well. I'm sorry to...
Thank you Girlie and Traveler. Your posts are always reassuring and thorough. Oddly enough I haven't had any stressors recently that could have triggered anything new. I should've mentioned that I'm...
It's been a little while since I've posted because between feeling like I might be dying and packing for college I haven't had much time. Basically I'm at a low point and I'm sure most of you have...
Thank you Traveler and sayyadina. That is an interesting article! It might explain why my gut is so distended....
I've had this for about 5 years now and I'm curious if anyone has the same symptom. I get full very easily as if my stomach can't handle a big meal. Anyone else?...
Thank you everyone. I had a full cardio workup a few months ago and everything came back fine (EKG, Stress Test, Ultrasound). However, that was before my heart symptoms got worse. The MRI was...
I'm sitting in a public library right now trying to maintain my sanity. I walked from my house to the library (about 1 mile -- somewhat uphill) and by the time I got there I felt an immense shortness...
Thank you for your kind words. I believe it might be regular babesia air hunger made worse by fumes. It really does suck. If I find a way to manage it I'll let you know. In the meantime im avoiding...
Has anyone experienced this? I walked passed a bar tonight and someone was smoking a cigarette. I probably inhaled some second hand smoke. When I got back to my car I actually felt so short of breath...
Hey man, I totally relate to that feeling of wondering if something else besides Lyme is wrong with me. I still don't have a diagnosis but I suspect it's Lyme or co-infections. Because I have chest...
Damn that sounds really scary. I suspect I have a co-infection that causes chest pain and shortness of breath/air hunger. I had to call 911 once because I couldn't breath after walking up a hill. Do...
Hey I'm fairly new to this forum as well. I've been having heart problems as well I believe. I actually had my heart checked out before things ramped up, but the results were normal. I'm thinking of...
Hahaha. Glad to hear both of your stories. It makes me feel better (and less crazy). Traveler, what kind of symptoms did you have before you got better? Girlie, I'm sorry you had to go through those...
Do you guys feel like you've lost credibility with your doctor? I mean, I've "cried wolf" so many times with odd symptoms that they probably think I'm some hypochondriac. I feel like I probably am,...
Yes I think an ultrasound would be a good idea. I'm just not sure how to get my doctor to order one. I wonder if he would just order it upon my request or not....
Glad your doing better. One of my new symptoms is just discomfort in my stomach. Sort of around my solar plexus. I can sort of feel a lump there, which makes me think a tumor or something. I think...
Yeah I guess symptoms vary for everyone. I was bitten 5 years ago so the details are kind of hazy unfortunately. I remember feeling a vague weakness or shakiness in my limbs that persisted for a few...
Hmm that's interesting. So you're saying you didn't have fatigue, joint pain, or rash?...
Thank you. You have been very helpful. I'm just worried about the "what its" at this point because my symptoms aren't "classic" Lyme disease symptoms. But I do have some such as mild brain fog,...
Thank you, that makes sense. All my weight has gone straight to my stomach. My limbs are skinny but my stomach is fat. I would be chasing other medical problems but since I was bitten by a tick...
I am considering having it done. I'm a little concerned about my symptoms and I'm wondering if it's Lyme or something else. I heard of anyone having the stomach weight gain or bright stools....
Thank you. It's puzzling to me....
Hi all, I was bitten by a tick in 2010. I never had a rash, flu, or joint pain but I began developing some symptoms such as fatigue and anxiety/depression. However, my most concerning symptoms are...
