So I threw my neck out over the weekend--excruciating pain, would almost equate it to childbirth in intensity.
Been seeing chiropractor to get things back in line, starting to feel better in that respect.
However, now I'm starting to get some suspicious sx: I did have a low grade fever and a bit of a sore throat over the weekend, along with the neck pain.
Now I kind of feel all over vaguely achy, and feel half nauseated most of the time. Tired a lot, but not as much as when I started lyme sx.
What really started bugging me was that my knees started hurting, and now my hips kind of feel weird--I can't tell if they ache or feel weak. Almost feels like I did a split and overstretched the muscles.
I know there are a lot of viruses and crap going around; so how do I know whether I'm coming down with something or if it's the lyme acting up again?

Sorry you're feeling so crappy, Star. It's funny how we know what's happening but we rationalize it anyway. I understand 'cause I've done that myself many a time.
Star, would you consider finding a new LLMD? (maybe Dr. S. in MD?)
I know you all love your guy, but I've been asking my 4 friends who see him that same question because you ALL are really suffering.
I just really think someone more aggressive would do wonders! Just think about it.
You should talk to my friend, L w/ sick son. He's feeling better on salt/c, not from LLMD! If you want her contact info, pm me.

Hens--I've been thinking of seeing a naturalist; she has been mentioned at our support group. I just keep putting it off for $$$ reasons. A lot of people keep saying she helped them.
I just keep wondering if it's possible that throwing my neck out could put me in a downward spiral.
I was moving heavy boxes of books, then I had to make a grab for my son who decided to dart in front of a car in the parking lot. So that's how it got thrown out.
It's just funny that everything is happening right after hurting myself.

If you actually did something to hurt your neck, maybe a chiropracter could help first? Maybe your insurance will cover a visit.
Maybe the one who talked with the support group one time? He was all about "healthy neck/spine so your spinal chord doesn't get squeezed." Maybe an adjustment would help you at least with the neck stuff.
I can't remember his name, just that he's somewhere over here close to me. Linda would know his name. Or look back thru my Activism Support Group posts.
I'm sorry you're feeling crummy, Star. You've had more than your share, haven't you. I can't wait for heaven where we'll all get new and HEALTHY bodies!!

Hens, I've been seeing a chiropractor. I've seen her 3 or 4 times since I did this, and it's finally getting back to where it should be. Our insurance doesn't cover a penny of it; $2000 a year out of pocket for her.
Hubby ain't too happy about it, but I said we can either go the chiropractic route, or we can wait till things are so bad I'm crippled and in a wheelchair; which would you prefer?
I agree with you about heaven. I don't know how I'm going to act when I can see and move the way God intended. I'll probably be bumping into everyone and everything in heaven, tripping over clouds and knocking over the harps, lolol.

I think it says somewhere in the Bible that when we get to heaven, all klutzes will become ballet dancers! Something to look forward to!!
