Veteran Lymies Help! I know there must be someone that knows what the heck this crap is, how serious I should take it. I let most stuff past, but this weird stuff has been for a month.

-Have large swelling in back of neck following line of trapezius all the way down to middle of back and out to right shoulder.
-Multiple cycsts over elbows, back of knees, on calfs, upper arms, and even on the back of my hands.
-Trouble breathing with real raspy sounds.
-little Blood in urine for last mo.
-Swelling from knees to toes for 3wks, better.
-Trouble swallowing with huge click.
-Feel terribly dehydrated all times.
-Severe nausea 24/7

So I haven't read up on the latest stuff for years and looking up my symptoms I am scared to death and a state away from my doc. I want to just jump in the car and drive the 13 hrs to get there. I don't want to overreact but from what I have read I need serious help.

Past:
Chronic Neuro Lyme, treated 2 yrs 5 yrs ago. Slowly recovered to be able to live on my own.
Treated with Rocephin and Clendomyacin for strep few wks ago.

Gonna make myself try to sleep before doing anything rash so please, please reply. I hope to get your opinion before I overreact and pack up.

Hi Amber,
That does sound scarey!

Call llmd's office today to see what they recommend. They may want you to have your local primary get basic bloodwork done first, in order to save time and a trip.

That way, when you do see your llmd, they have something to go on.

So, if it were me, I would call both, first thing this a.m.
