We have a friend who is in the Army-he is on leave basically-has to check in via phone once a day to say he is still alive but is on a permanant profile to stay home.
He is a 39 yo male. Was extremely healthy prior to this event. He had a stroke-less than a year ago.
-His blood pressure was and is consistently high. -His heart rate is high -He shakes-sometimes like a Parkinson's shake -His memory is kaput-gone -He has ringing in his ears -He has sensitivty to light and sound -He has dizziness and lightheadedness -He has back pain -Joint pain -Severe Feet pain -Headaches -Phlegm in his throat often -Got worse on short course of ABX -Anger Outbursts -Shooting pains -Sweats -Severe Fatigue
And I know there is more I'm leaving out. They can't find a cause, rhyme or reason why this guy had a stroke. He has seen mutiple doctors all over the place The "best" the Army has to offer.
He is on multiple medications now. Trying to control his blood pressure and pain.
I lent him my copy of "Cure Unknown" and sent him the symptom list from canlyme.
What would you all think if this man was your friend?

I would check for metal poisoning, particularly lead and Mercury. That may not be the problem but many of the symptoms are consistent with mercury poisoning in particular.
It could be Lyme that was dormant, until stress or an injury activated it. I would guess if it is Lyme, that Bartonella is also present since some of the symptoms are consistent with that infection.
It is going to have to be a process of elimination to find out.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2958514... Giant cell arteritis and Borrelia infection. As much of the new research is coming from other countries, the US are in denial. But as more and more look it will become impossible to refute.
