I have been here on and off for a couple of years. I was in denial re. LD and I am convinced now. I am one of those forgotten Texans who are denied medical service for LD. I tested positive WB, but not Elisa. So, everyone here claims that I do not have LD. Well, it is chronic now and I am back to finding help.
I was wondering if anyone has had petechiae? This cropped up three months ago and my MD thought I had cancer.
Also, I have had a stiff neck since May. I know this is common to LD, but has anyone had the sensation like they have a collar/vice around the back of their neck. Everytime I move it I feel popping, grinding and pain. Sometimes I will get a severe tightness in my base of my skull and jaw. I cannot turn my head to the side when I am sleeping or I feel intense pressure like my head will explode. This all started after a mild case of Bell's P. What can you do for this? I take Lyrica and anti-inflams.
All doctors think I have MS due to the eye problems I was having, balancing, gait etc. My neuro, ruled it out due to neg. MRIs.
Thank you for your time!!
I have tried catsclaw and dyox. Catsclaw worked for about 5 months and I had to quit the abx. I am ready to be treated by a LLMD!

i've had all those neuro symptoms. currently not under doc's care as i can't find one around here and don't travel.

Yes, I have the petechiae, a lot of them. Mostly on my torso, arms, and thighs.
Good luck, this disease is so hard to deal with, actually it's not always the disease so much as the ignorance surrounding it! Good luck finding an LLMD too - I don't know where I would be without mine!
