Hi, I have been feeling very ill for a long time now. I have been through many many many tests all which come back negative.
MRI of the brain, mercury poisoning test, lead poisoning test, hyper/hypo thyroid test, behavior tests, ear tests, concentration tests, sleep tests and probably a few that I can't remember.
I was diagnosed with a mood disorder bi-polar disorder and fibromyalgia. I can't think anymore because of concentration loss.
I lost the ability to memorize things and recall them. I keep having vertigo issues along with the "drunkenness" feeling even though I don't drink.
All the doctors that I have seen don't take me seriously and they won't help me. Wisconsin is a tough place to get a doctor that treats the problem and not the symptoms.
I have been on numerous medications all with adverse reactions, mood stabilizers, anti-convulsants, migrane stabilizers, and beta blockers.
I am at my wits end trying to get help from a doctor but it seems that all they want to do is push drugs and tell you everything is fine when its not.
I read about lyme disease after i was researching an entirely different topic and thats when it clicked.
I think I finally can put a name to my unwellness. I am looking for a Dr in the wisconsin area that will treat me like a human and not a pharmaceutical lab rat.
If anyone knows of one I would greatly appreciate it. Please, I need to feel well again and get my life back.

Thank you everyone for your help, I have finally talked some sense into my doctor to take me seriously. I also have talked to the contacts to which you posted and set up an appt with an LLMD. Heres phase 1 of recovery. I will keep everyone posted on my recovery and meeting with my LLMD. Thank you all again for helping me!
