Hi y'all,
It's been a very long time. I still see a few oldies. Haha...hey, Lymetoo - how ARE you???

Okay...so I figured I was cured, healed blah, blah, blah. I've been off all medications for over a year. I do have one really annoying symptom that started about 3 months ago. Cramping. Like charlie-horse cramping. Very painful, deep tissue cramping. It could happen in my legs or in my ribs or even in my intestines.

I'm just afraid one day it just might grab onto my heart...it's a muscle after all. I went to my regular family doctor and guess what he said.

It could be Lyme disease. Hahahahhha...I don't think he's ever said those words before to me. So do you all think I should keep harrassing him to check into it more or does anyone else have this happening now or maybe in the past?

I sure have missed you all. [confused]

Hey there, dt!! I seem to remember that you had muscle cramping way back when you were being treated for Lyme.

Could be that it has come back.. or did it ever leave??

Welcome back.. and yeah, try the magnesium! [Smile]

Magnesium wasting is a symptom of Lyme (and co)and cramping is a symptom of magnesium loss so, yes you have Lyme (MO) and take magnesium.

Take enough to make the cramping stop.

It may make you sleepy so take it at bedtime until you know if it does.
