finally decided to go to an internist because after four years, I am sicker than ever. I have gained 70 pounds with no effort. I gained the first 30 within a matter of months. I found a doctor who really listened to me for the first time. He said, put the Lyme behind you because you must have other things going on to make you this sick.

He is sending me to neurologist, gyno, doing 24 hour urine testing, other blood work and seeing another infectious disease doctor.

He said I may have Cushings. First I every heard of it, but when I looked it up, I was amazed that I wasn't tested before. I have every symptom, even the hump on the back!

I have been extremely depressed and felt like I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown several times. I went to a psychopharmacologist and am taking meds that help me stay on planet earth. Anyone else ever get results?
