I was diagnosed with lyme in 1992 when pregnant with my youngest daughter. At that time there were very few reported cases of lyme during pregnancy. Because I was pregnant they couldn't treat me with the normal antibiotics. I have had arthritis pain, headaches, muscle fatigue, chronic fatique, anemia, lack of mental clarity, buzzing in my ears, jaw pain,and countless other problems since. Dr. tend to look at me like I'm crazy when I ask them if all of these could be related to the lyme disease. I just don't ever seem to get any answers from my doctors about why I have not felt good for the last 19 years. Is there a possibility that all of my problems could stem from the lyme or are they just a bunch of random issues?

Sounds like Lyme to me. Your daughter also needs to be checked for lyme since they did not give you antibiotics during your pregnancy to protect her ( and HELP you).

All the symtoms you perscribed were actually in my case in 1992 right after I delivered my daughter.
Yes after 17 years and fighting for my life I tested with IGENEX and came back pozitive for lyme. I have had many coinfections as well as babesia and bartonella in the mix and the last 3 years I have been fighting to live as I was near death.
All your symtoms were mine within a few years that I had my daughter.I garanty you have lyme disease , check for coinfections as well.
Anemia for me was babesia.

- "Buzzing" in the ears is called Tinnitus. It's very common with lyme (as are all your symptoms).
Magnesium & Fish oil can help. More detail: ---------
