I am new to this site but I believe I have been suffering from Lyme's for over 2yrs now.
I was vacationing in Vancouver and developed a rash on my left shin in the shape of a red ring with a clear centre the size of an orange. Since that time I have been stuggling with many odd symptoms such as incredible fatigue, bone pain, joint pain, night sweats, headaches, dizziness, problems with my joints, vertigo, bladder/bowel problems etc.
They seem to come in cycles, approx every 4-6 weeks lating for 1-2 weeks and then the whole thing repeats itself. I finally convinced my family doc. to test me but it came back negative. Out of desperation I was able to get a one month supply of antibiotics and I felt better for a short time but am stuggling again. After being told it is all in my head I dont know what to do and I was hoping someone knows of a LLMD in Ontario Canada.
Thanks!
