Hello all I've posted here before but in need of some advice.

I came down with Lyme's about 2 years ago and got Bellys Palsy and got a posative Lyme Test and got treated with doxy something for about 2 weeks. But sense the initial treatment I have had a wide range of symptoms.

1. Chronic Fatigue
2. Shaky/Jumpy/Blurry Vision
3.Muscle aches and pains mostly in legs
4.Slow healing skin
5. Been put on Blood Pressure meds
6. Within the last month loss of taste in mouth and loss of feeling/ slight numbness in different parts of my face.

I have finally got scheduled to see a LLMD in Wisconsin in early July.

Im just posting to say Im fianlly ready to start feeling better. Lyme has made me suffer for 2 years straight and has almost caused me to end my relationship with my girlfriend of 3 years.

I don't have good insurance so I'm hoping the cost isn't that much to see the doctor.

James,

Good luck.

Print out the green booklet from http://lymepa.org

last pages are run downs of list of symptoms lyme & tick siseases can cause. You can check the "have now or had that before" of the symptoms.

It'll help you & the llmd. It'll make your appt easier if you are "sort of" organized.

oh yay, thanks for the giggles..."belly's palsy" [lol]

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR LLMD VISIT

===================

In addition to the usual coinfections from ticks (such as babesia, bartonella, ehrlichia, RMSF, etc.), there are some other chronic stealth infections that an excellent LLMD should know about:
