I currently have:

Multiple Drug Allergies

HAD an enlarged thyroid that after IV went back to normal size=off medication for it as well- (TSH remained normal) HAD 5 nodules- now not evident

and chronic hives that have now 'come back' seemingly w/ wonderful timing to my recent + w/b test and multiple symptoms yet again....

Mitral valve prolapse w/ regurgitation

Anyone else have something they feel or KNOW was most likly caused by an extended Lyme infection?

Thanks! Just curious...

The following problems from her list were interfering with my life and job about 8 months before the neuromuscular symptoms started that I interpreted as the onset of my lyme. I did not find a tick bite at onset time. This brings me to a recurring thought that perhaps I was harboring lyme long before I *think* it began.

chronic fatigue*
Asperger's Syndrome-like symptoms* (adult onset)
learning disabilities* (adult onset)
allergies - food, drugs, etc.*
leaky gut syndrome
hormonal imbalances* (since teens)
copper toxicity**
insomnia
ADD* (adult onset)

Note to rapturegirl: I flew up to Chicago to the Pfeiffer Treatment Center for help with the single-starred items. (http://www.hriptc.org)

They determined that I had high copper in general and a high copper-to-zinc ratio, as well as high natural histamine, which explained these symptoms. Their intensive evaluation turned up that I was also fighting an infection, though I was unaware of one.

So maybe I've had lyme for longer than I think. Interesting to see someone else with such similar cognitive symptoms.
