first time on here & its a bittersweet relief to know im not alone.
got sick driving home from work one night in june.vertigo,massive headache & chills came out of nowhere.
my husband had to get me because i couldnt see straight.so many symptoms followed w/in days:
nausea, sensivity to light,brain fog,burning sensations across my back,hair loss,fevers,etc...
convinced my dr to put me on doxycycline though i tested neg for lyme.
felt good for 5 days when i finished the pills. went on a 2nd round.stayed on 3rd round for a few days.felt so sick i thought it might be the antibiotics so i stopped.
more bloodwork 7 weeks after the last antibiotic and this time tested positive for lyme.dr said i had it at some point but the antibiotics knocked it out.
i dont believe this because im still sick.shes making me go get a cat scan of my sinuses because i feel so much pain & pressure in my head.we'll see.
i went to her today & got ceftin.maybe it'll work better.i also got paxil because im having panic attacks.
i never knew how bad lyme disease was until i got it.my heart goes out to all of you. if anyone knows the name of a LLMD on long island,please let me know. im in suffolk county.thankyou so much.
