Hello all, I am glad to see there are people still here
that gave me so much support last time. But I
did give up on finding a LLMD then and just work
through as much as I could. It has been a long 2
1/2 yrs and I have found my way back here. I
started having some of the same old same old.
But this time it was worse. I have had 3 tick
bites in the last 2 years. Freaked me out. But I
pushed on I completed Fire Fighter 1 and 2 (not
to be able to use it now) I broke my leg in July
of last year it took for ever to heal. I also
got my tubes tied (had complcation from it going
in for my 2nd surgery to try to fix it) and
things are getting worse and worse. I am a mom
of 5 after my leg was broke they had to go live
with my mom. becouse I cant take care of them.
I work FT but so tired I cant do anything else.
I have a very supportive bow in mylife now so I
am back on to trying to find a LLMD.
I was told I have Fibro. and a few other thing.
2mo. ago but thats not the answers I was
looking for. Being told "There's nothing we can
do to help." I know That There Is
something that can help I just need the right Dr.
Thanks to all of you that keep us going and know
what its like and help us find the resourse we
need to get better.
Smiles

Dear Beca,
Why don't you contact the National Capital Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Association, aka NatCapLyme, for information about Virginia doctors. They might have the best information about doctors in Virginia.
(703) 821-8833 or visit www.natcaplyme.org to see if there is a chapter near you

WElcome back! Did you post in Seeking a Doctor yet? I can help you with names of LLMD's if you need them.
Sounds like you've really had a very tough time!!! Let's get you well now!

Welcome Beca!
I had a fibromyalgia diagnosis for 21 years until I figured out on my own that the cause of all those symptoms was lyme.
It's such a shame that soooo many people will never have a chance to recover after a diagnosis of fibro, CFS, etc.
Sorry to hear that you've had such a hard time.
Glad you decided to come back to this wonderful site with more fantastic people than I can count.
I hope you find a good LLMD and get the help you need.

WELCOME BACK BECA! sorry you have to be here...

Thank you all for welcoming me back. I beleve what don't kill will make you
stronger. And at times I think if I dont do something this is going to
kill me. In so many ways I feel like it has. But I know that I can't give up
I want as much of the old me back as I can get. I have been doing alot of
reading on Lyme and making people around me aware of it and how bad it
can be. I ordered the DVD "Under Our Skin" I cant wait to get it. I will
get better its just going to take time and the the right Dr.
