Hello, i'm hoping someone can tell me whats happening to me. Ijust got out of the hospital, thought i had a stroke. i'm really scared.

I have been trying to get answers from the doc's and all they say is " you got alot going on".

I was at work friday and lost all control of my left arm, and limited use of my left leg,i had pain from my ankle all the way to my neck, got rushed by ambulance to hospital for stroke.

All test for heart came back perfect, all doc could come up with is you got alot going on.

My vision is all screwed up, feels like my teeth are going to fall out, i can barely bteeth for 10 min. then it seems fine then back again.

My arm has deep bruises on it and i didnt do anything to it, my spleen feels like its moving around.I seem to be losing feeling in my privates and shooting pain all thru my stomach.

Can someone please tell me whats happening? i'm afraid to sleep because i feel like i wont wake up if i do. My appointment isnt for 2 weeks and i cant get any info to help me, please could someone give me a clue as to whats heppeninng

My tick bite, looked like a bruise weeks later.
Last October I had similar experiences, but they cleared up within several weeks. Hang in there!

I would ask the doctor for copies of his notes and all of the tests run on you at the hospital. They may be helpful later on.

If the only thing a doc can say is "you have a lot going on," then they shouldn't be practicing medicine.

If it is lyme, lyme does play tricks like this. Many have felt like they were going to die only to see symptoms dissolve or lessen with no rhyme or reason. It's happened to me...especially with strange cardiac manifestations.

By all means, if you feel severely ill get yourself to a walk-in clinic at least or the hospital...

boss,

i agree with above poster; sign a RELEASE OF INFORMATION, and get all the records, labs, xrays, everything they did on you in the hospital!!

might be helpful if you showed all the meds and dosages you are on; those on same meds MIGHT be able to tell you of any complications/side effects they had while on that med.

definitely, you shouldn't be driving over the roads....

so sorry you're unable to get definite info! [group hug]

Do you have an appt. with a Lyme literate Md? You need to see one ASAP...if you need a referral in your area for one you can p/m me or post for one.

Mainstream Md's and hospitals don't know anything about tick borne diseases, you need updated treatment protocols and accurate testing through Igenex.

Keep us updated.
