I'm a 28 yearold woman who has been experiencing symptoms for the past 8 years.
My symptoms include anxiety, headaches that range from mild to server, left sided facial pressure and numbness, neck pain, ear pain and fullness, palpitations, vague feeling of imbalance, loud joints and recently started having muscle twitches all over body including my left eyelid among many more.
I have been told I have anxiety and depression, chronic sinusitis (which I had surgery for with no relief of symptoms), TMJ (later told by orthodontist I dont have tmj) and that I'm to young for arthritis.
I've been looking into Lyme Disease and, well, it all sounds much to familiar to ignore.
I've also spoken to a mass. lyme advocate, a PhD, and a lyme support group member whom also believe that my symptoms are Lyme related.
My nurse practitioner is willing to accept Lyme as a possible reason for all of my ailments and even believes in chronic lyme but like most health care providers is not familiar with the disease or treatments.
I was "tested" for lyme which was not surprisingly negative.
I am of very limited income and rely on Mass Health insurance for medical coverage.
I'm hoping that maybe you will be able to offer some help.
I live in Fall River, Ma and am trying to find someone in the area that is qualified to effectively and aggressively treat me.
I hope to hear from someone soon.
Thank you so much for your time and service.
