NEED LLMD

I am glad I have came across this forum because of the fact that I didn't know this much about a disease which I figured would come and go. Now 10 years later and the whole time I have been thinking it is an hereditary form neuropathy called Charcot marie tooth disease. This is because that is what my mother was diagnosed with.

Now I know that the bacteria can remain dormant in the body and appear years later. I am realizing that borreliosis is pretty sneaky. Wow!

So, it has to be possible that my symptoms of numbness in hands and feet at time, muscle spasms, fatigue, soreness in calf muscles, ringing in ears,and inability to concentrate,,could be the lymes out of remission. What do you think?

I was bite by at tick at 16 ( now 26 ) and 3 months later was tested by the family doc. Blood test came back positive. He treated me with only one month of Doxy. Then sent me on my way thinking that was it. Was I under treated? From what I have been reading maybe.

How uneducated some people (docs and me included) are about this bacteria. I wish all doctors knew as much about this as an LLMD. I probably wouldn't be writing this.

I now have just realized this may be lymes. I guess now I need to get the test done, go to an LLMD? Which one first? I don't know I am honestly new to all this information. Confused I guess.

Please feel free to leave your input on this Topic.

Thank You,
