A Pain Clinic specialist at my local hospital ordered the lyme test. (from Igenex) I grew up in jersey.
I have wide spread muscle pain most of it in my neck/arms/upper back but if you even touch my shins they hurt or sides of my legs. It gets worse every year (I'm almost 39)
I have chronic depression that responds to virtually no meds (been on at least 20 since i was 17 years old) And my brother got a pretty bad strain of lyme - all his joints are affected badly.
So the test came back and it tested slight positive for a few bands and "inconclucive" for another
The specialist wont tell me anything other than that until he has XXXXXX Dr. look at them. Do you know what that means? The last thing I want is subpar care for this.
Thank you for responding to me, any and all help for these symptoms that Drs have sent me to therpy and therapists for YEARS, could Lyme be the reason why nothing works long term???
Also since i was 15 i have had chronic gastritis- or inflamation of the stomach- you cant put your hand on the front of me with any form of pressure at all-
im on meds twice a day for it and got mono "twice" and am CHORNICALY tired (no sleep apnea- was tested) My symptoms are at their worst ever.

to the person who asked if i had a biopsy of the stomach, yes I did. Was I tested for celiac, no. I've never been told to go gluten free..........
