Thank you for taking the time to look at all of the photos and share your thoughts, WalkingByFaith. It's helpful to hear....
Yes, I should have mentioned that I also experience the full range of Bartonella symptoms and a staggering number of late stage LD symptoms....
I started getting lots of markings/rashes on my body after taking a "trial" dose of doxycycline back in November (long story). I now recognize them as what I believe to be various Bartonella...
I'm no expert, but it certainly sounds like LD. Going to an LLMD is a good idea....
Thanks Missouri and Girlie for the info. Missouri, it was C6. Interesting that you say it's claimed to be more sensitive for early infection. I've been sick for over a year. Thanks for your thoughts...
greatguy and Traveler -- thank you both for your thoughts. That makes sense, greatguy. I was on antibiotics in November for about two weeks after going to the ER -- the MD preemptively prescribed it,...
I just got back from an appointment with an infectious disease specialist. Overall, it was a relatively positive visit (the doctor really listened to me and seemed very thorough). I'm proceeding with...
Hi everyone, Someone shared this non-religious prayer with me last month and I found it very comforting. I repeat this to myself whenever I'm feeling hopeless. I wanted to share it here, in case it...
hi afiya4health, I completely understand your frustration – both with the careless attitude of the helpline responder and with the helplessness and desperation you feel from dealing with this...
Yes, I've had that happen to me. I visited my chiropractor (who I love - she's so supportive) a few weeks ago and her office was really warm - it made me feel hot and sick, and all of a sudden the...
Thank you so much, Girlie. I really appreciate the support. I want to see an LLMD, but I don't know how I will work it out financially. My insurance covers the ID visit, so I figured I would start...
Thanks for your input, Girlie. That's all interesting. I just noticed that I don't have moons (except on my thumbs, too) anymore. Is this common with Lyme/coinfections? My thumb and pointer...
Yes, I experience this frequently, along with intense sinus pain and pressure right in the center of my face, behind my nose and eyes (sometimes it feels like my face is exploding - severe pressure...
Has anyone experienced this? Looks like tiny streaks or specks of blood in the cuticle....
Thanks so much for your response, Walking by Faith. I appreciate your insight and your advice on self-care while waiting to see an LLMD... I've already started adapting some of these practices, and I...
Yes, big difference! I'm in Upstate/Central New York. Actually about 40 minutes from Syracuse. Thanks for the info re: EBV vs. LD - this has been so hard to navigate....
I think that I have Lyme disease and other co-infections, and I know that I have reactivated EBV (tested at the ER on 11/17/17, results positive). I've been dealing with the full range of late-stage...
Thank you both so much for your responses and advice. It feels so good to connect with people who understand what I've been going through. It's been such a nightmare. I'll follow your tip, Peppermint...
Hi everyone. I've been reading various posts in this forum which have been very helpful and affirming to me in the past few weeks. After a very discouraging visit with my primary care physician...
