Well, most of my life I have had many odd medical problems that were not deadly but did cause me lots of pain. Recently my mother and I have decided to look at them as one problem, and not just a countless number of different problems. When we did this, it all started to point to Lyme. I can practically check off every symptom on the list minus the rash... which is scary. If I have Lyme, I have had it for some time... at least 10 years. I am soooooooooo incredibly tired all the time, feeling like I am in a total fog, unable to think or speak clearly sometimes, my joints burn and pulsate every day, sometimes getting so bad I can't walk/I am stuck in bed (these are my 3 most bothersome symptoms), I simply can not imagine living another 10 years like this, let alone another 40. (Recently I have started getting dizzy spells that are pretty intense... never had those before.) There is SO much different information out there on Lyme, I don't know what to make of it all. So I decided to come here and hear it from the folks that know best.
If any of you out there would be willing to share your stories with my, I would be so incredibly thankful.
I am knowledgeable on the science of Lyme, but with so many different symptom lists out there (some list symptoms I have that are pretty rare, some lists dont have those symptoms...), and the difficulty of finding any substantial information about chronic Lyme, I just feel lost in a sea of information. What symptoms are more commonly associated with Lyme? How Chronic Lyme commonly treated? How was/is it for you?
If anyone can help me out, that would be SO incredibly wonderful. I am just so confused and slightly frightened...
Thank you for your time... Have a wonderful day! -Sleepy Sky
