Today my daughter & I went to Dr. S. in PA and I must say he was sent by angels. We have our definite dx of L. Still trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. Since she is only 17 I wish there was a message board or group for teens..If anyone knows of one that's good please email me! I knew from the IGENX test that she was positive but to have an LLMD finally say "YES..this is what she has" I finally let loose and let the tears flow. However, it's different for a teen to go through this than it is for an adult. Especially when their social life is put on somewhat of a hold. If any of you have any info to share please do! So thankful for this site. Blessings

Welcome. This site will be a huge blessing to you and your daughter. It's a safe place to come, share ideas, get support, etc.
There is so much to know. What is right for one person, is not necessarily right for another. So keep checking the board and see what posts resonate with you. Little by little you will start to put the pieces together.
At least now you are with a LLMD. That makes all the difference.
Wishing you all the best, Tammy

Welcome! Teenagers and Lyme is not an easy thing! There is a teenage Lyme forum but there has been very little activity this year. I could see that in 2009 there were more posts and activity. I'm glad you liked the doctor. Many people enjoy him and his experience. He will know how to help your daughter get well and get her life back. My oldest is 18 and a senior and not really sick with Lyme but in treatment. My youngest is 15 and homebound. He is slowly getting better and your daughter will too. Happy Holidays,

Thanks so much for such positive info from you all. Thankfully my daughter is able to for the most part go through her days until she hits a bad one and then she hit's the wall as she puts it. I'm thankful that she isn't as bad as some I've read about. Her new thing is dyslexia--she's typing words backwards and just thought it was kind of cool until we were told it's part of L. Hopefully there are no more neuro problems that will creep in she's a bright student and don't want to have to see her deal with anything else. I guess I worry about when she's older, and wants children. I don't fully understand that whole part yet. Blessings to all
