Hello. I've been doing a fair amount of research on Lyme's and it sounds like I have a lot of the symptoms. If someone would be able to give their opinion though it would be much appreciated.
My major problems are (in order of severity):
- chronic fatigue - constriction & tension in legs (like I constantly want/need to stretch them) - constantly cracking joints, especially in the neck, fingers, legs - receding hair line & thin hair - often foggy brain & memory - inability to gain weight (120 lbs at 5'9, 21 year old male) - anxiety, shortness of breath - dark discoloration under eyes - poor balance - occasional speech stammering - sometimes difficult bowel movements - dry/chapped lips, dehydration - unfocused vision, sensitivity to light
I know that most of these symptoms fit Lyme's fairly well, but is it possible they may also be related to multiple sclerosis, hyperthyroidism, or a gluten, casein, or histamine intolerance?
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

- Did you EVER have a rash from a tick bite? If so, was it a bulls eye rash, circular or oval?
Not everyone gets a rash and of those who do, not all are round or oval. But, it's the first question to ask.
You can certainly be assessed for celiac and gluten sensitivity (two different things). But now that celiac can be triggered by various infections.
