I feel like I am losing my mind. I have crazy symptoms that no docs (gastro, orthopedists, cardio, etc) have the answers for....

I had one tick bite when I was about ten years old. No symptoms or rash that I remember. Now I am 44 with 4 kids whom I love dearly, and I think that I made this dream of family a nightmare by giving them lyme.

None of us have a definite positive western blot. But we have something.

All of these are IgG.

Me: 23, 41 (gastro symptoms, palpitations,etc.)
14 yo: 28, 41 (joint pain, air hunger, abd pain)
9 yo: 41, 66 (psych issues--like bipolar)
5 yo IgM: 41 (attention, irritability)
21 month old: 41 (clinginess like in my 9 yo,
irritability)

We have an appt with doc in mo at the end of this month, but this is driving me crazy....what does this sound like to you???

I hope you have found a good doctor in Texas. I hear complaints that they are hard to find.

I'm sorry that you may be traveling down the Lyme road with a cart full.

There are 5 in my family and we go day by day as we have no choice. Each one is different with our complaints and our labs.

You will find the strength to get through it.

Things are never dull. After 3 fighting Lyme, 2 are in remission. Youngest is still sick, age 22. He has new diagnosed Chiari Malformation and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
