Hi I live in Lodi, California which is between Stockton and Sacramento. I currently have Kaiser insurance because I thought their resources would be enough to finally help me get better *insert sarcastic laugh here*
Im willing to possibly go out of my coverage however if it means feeling better and probably change insurances if I needed to to recieve diagnosis. Id rather not jump the ship Im on now until I know the next one will actually float though!
Currently Ive had several lyme tests come back negative from a few doctors but none decided to enlight me on to which tests they use and most seemed to go mysteriously deaf when I told them about how I learned lyme needed specific testing from certain labs to actually be accurate.
Currently I have the diagnosis of fibromyalgia and all the entails including: headaches, pain everywhere and in every form I could think to descibe it all at various times that seem to have no pattern.
Mood problems, depression, almost manic some days, I run the gambit pretty much from on top of the world to lower than parasites it feels.
I have some cognitive problems and fatigue that feels like I should carry an air matress in my purse for those just in case times.
Im 25 and grew up in Michigan but have lived in California for 5 years now. I suspect lyme because I have a circular spot on my scalp that has proved resistant to ringworm treatment and excema cream. And after not itching or flaking or being at all noticeable for 3 (or more Im not sure when it appeared) it started to be slightly painful to the touch.
I also found reference on here to stretch marks that seem to have no associated growth or weight change and I have those in spades on my hips and thighs.
I believe possibly a LLMD might solve this puzzle or elimante one possibility to my satisfaction once and for all. Thanks for any help.
