if i can find one that accepts beechstreet insurance that'd be even better!
i'm 22, and i've been sick for years, and i'm desperate to figure out what's wrong! everytime i go to the doctor they make me out to be crazy, depressed, or bi-polar, although every psychologist i've seen says mentally i'm fine!
here's some of my symptoms:
constant fatigue... i feel like i'm dying some days! my body feels so heavy and just lifting my arms is exhausting! it's like there's a weight on top of me! my husband has to do everything for me anymore it seems.
bone pain... especially in my legs... not just my joints but my actual bones. some days i'm in bed gritting my teeth while crying and screaming at the same time it's so bad. nobody understands when i try to explain this to them.
i'm always cold, and i tingle really badly... the tingling is so painful at times, i can hardly stand it.
i just can't get comfortable... it seems like i hurt everywhere. i take at least one hot bath everyday to try to stay sane.
i have a heightened sensitivity to pain now... i find myself saying "ouch" all the time over the silliest things... like opening shampoo bottles.
i shake really bad... sometimes my hair brush flies out of my hand and completely across the room. i constantly drop things or spill drinks on myself... and i feel off-balance all the time. when i carry things i feel like i'm going to fall over.
i have a hard time focusing... i feel like i'm in my own world sometimes when people are talking to me... and i slur my words or say them in the wrong order.
i used to be such an energetic person... i ran 40 miles a week and was always on the go... now i'm worn out simply from going to the grocery store. i haven't been able to work in 2 years!
i've been bitten by multiple ticks in my lifetime, and several years ago i had a sore throat and headache everyday for 2 years. my face has started twitching for about 30 seconds at a time in the last few months, but i dismissed it because it's nothing compared to my other problems... then i started researching lyme and found out that's a symptom, which is why i'm leaning in that direction now. i've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and on meds for it since 2008, and it's helped a little. before i was sleeping 17 hours a day and now i'm only sleeping 12... but i still feel horrible.

Can you make a separate post for this information? It won't be seen by many here.
I'll send you what I have.
(No drs in KS who treat lyme)
