I am often asked when and how I got lyme but honestly cant say.
[confused]

How do you narrow down your infection start if you have never seen a tick on you?

Or in what state? I live in Florida but do travel some.

Do you really need to know? How long have you had symptoms?

Likely Lymeeee since At least 2000 when I started being treated for depression and started orthopedic pains in feet (dr thought gout). But had unexplained vertigo off and on since 1992.

I would like to know if I had it while I was pregnant with children?

What explanation did you get for your vertigo?

I believe my hubby who has had vertigo and tinnitus for years and now many other symptoms has had lyme/babs longer than the rest of us.

Have you spoken to an llmd about your children?

No explanation really for vertigo. In the past they would put me on antivert for month oor so and then take me off and it'd be gone for a while.

had many tests done but nothing ever showed cause. it was not positional - it was not inner ear - so they labelled it possible viral vertigo.

Actually met my doc because of daughters learning struggles (turned out to be lead toxicity) so he and I have discussed the possability and are watching them.
