Okay guys, I am 18 years old and at my whits end with everything, and becoming very depressed.

First off, my mother was diagnosed with Lyme about 10 years ago and was treated successfully.

Recently (about 3 months ago) I had been having prostate problems and pelvic pain (only an 18 year old male), also stomach pains. I went to my doctor and he ran a bunch of tests and said I have mono.

Now I am starting to get joint pain in my knees, always feeling tired all the time, sharp pain all over body, in chest and underarms especially. sometimes I feel a bit of a rapid or faster heartbeat.

I have extreme anxiety (havent alwyas), I also have problems getting to sleep, a white coat on tongue?, bad constipation, sometimes my eyes feel really dry or bug me, sometimes i see floaters, and sometimes I get tingling/numbness in my arms and legs. Brain fog, I just feel so bad all around. also I get very light headed at time. And have swollen lymph Nodes in neck and groin for months.

I also have a random sharp pain in my left shoulder blade that will come for about a day or so and then pass.
A few weeks ago i felt as if all of my skin had a sunburn on it, when my clothes rubbed on legs, arms, and stomach/chest, it felt like a sunburn would, but there was no Redness/rash?

I also have long hair.. And I notice that whenever I wash it.. More and more seems to fall out [Frown]

. My shower drain gets completely clogged once a week now.

Also my whole life I've walked on my toes.. I had to have surgery on my Achilles tendons when I was 15 due to this. (read it could be related to Lyme).

Basically, my doctor just said I have mono and it will pass.. That was Months ago. I think it's something else.. Possibly Lyme??

Please someone help. Let me know what you think. I am becoming very depressed and sad. I am only 18 and feel like my quality of life has all the sudden gone.

Sounds EXACTLY like Lyme to me! Now you could have "mono" also.. that happens a lot.

You are in a bad place to get help with a Lyme specialist. Do you have access to the Dr who treated your mother?

I'm moving this to Medical Questions where you will get more help.
