Topic: I feel relatively normal, just terrified!

Part of what is frustrating about my symptoms is that they are so incredibly subtle, as to sometimes be barely noticeable.

I want to say that I feel normal, but the fact that I have symptoms at all, no matter how small bothers me! I just wish there was some way to know what stage of the disease I am in!

The only real sign i'm noticing is slight tingling or tightness in my legs. occasionally I will feel slight aches and pains in totally random body parts like my hands, feet, back etc.

However, like I said, it's so subtle. It doesn't stop me from doing anything physical. I've gone to the gym and jogged, lifted weights etc. I have no major fatigue or fevers or anything, and I've nerver herxed.

More than anything, i'm terribly worried and anxious because everything I've read says that this disease is a hopeless nightmare that will plague you forever, and never go away!

I just wish someone could tell me where I stand in this whole mess! Am I better? Am I worse/ Do I even have Lyme? Am I going to die? Is this going to get worse over time? Am I going to be an invalid? Please someone just help!!!

(breaking up the post for easier reading for many)

Mike,

Do you have a Lyme diagnosis and have you been treated?

How long have you had the symptoms?

My guess (and this is just my opinion) is that if you have not gotten worse already, you will not get worse.

I have only gotten better as time went on and my diagnosis was delayed 2 years.

Will pray for you.

Maybe you don't have Lyme.

Personally, I would try taking magnesium if your muscles feel tight.

Yes. I have a positive test.

I answered you in your other thread, which please see. You're in the early dissemination stage and needing to take stronger medical action.

I feel that same way. I have a bunch of symptoms ,but I haven't had a positive test yet. (just got done a few days ago)

I have what I understand as pretty mild symptoms compared to others. I have migrating joint and tendon pain, headaches, bladder issues and racing brain, but not debilitating fatigue or anything that would cause me to not be able to live somewhat normally.

Been dealing with this since I was 7/8 years old.

I am getting worse in the number of symptoms, but the severity of them has stayed relatively the same.
