Hi, my name is Teresa and I am patty ann's daughter. she is having eye problems due to facial paralysis.

so i am posting on here for a little while-for her-i hope this is ok. my heart is breaking for her suffering right now.

we find out tomorrow if her dr will just treat with the 1 dose of antibiotics so i want to be ready with alternatives.

she lives in remer, mn. the closest biggest cities are duluth, st cloud, then minneapolis.

she is open to regular medical txment and alternative medicines.

she had had the symptoms for 4 weeks and was diagnosised 2 wks ago. i don't have her blood wrk numbers.

her symptoms are puzzling as they started on the opposite side of the bite. this is how is went.

pain under left shoulderblade-pulled muscle-she thought?? she was going to go to a chiro but phyrmasist rec she go get tested for lymes!!!!!

then burning and symptoms like shingles on that left side.
to this day those pains are the worst and come and go.

then on rt side bullseye mark with rash on neck, pain in neck and head and rt side facial paraylsis.

poor dear she is a mess. all this is overwheming and a bit scary.

please help with info for my dear mom.

thanks for much,
teresa

teresa, good for you looking out for your dear mom!! [group hug]

1st if she still has the rash, etc., get photos of it using coins or $1 bill and today's dated newspaper date showing in all photos! may need that later ok!

2nd, request at least 30 days of antibiotics, 400 mg/day of doxycycline !! ONE PILL IS NOT GOING TO CURE HER ... NO WAY!

i'm sending you info on MINN. & WISC. LLMDS; check YOUR PROFIlE for my private message!
