I'll try to keep this short. First off i am from Ontario Canada just north of Toronto.
I came down with a flu like illness in the middle of August after a camping trip with some friends. I have a whole whack of syptoms that come and go. Such as:
Fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, randoms pains all over my body, muscle aches, twitching vibrating all over my body, numbness comes and goes all over my body, tingling felling in my tounge and nose, painin my eyes, bloodshot eyes, sensitivity to lights, blurry vision at times, ringing in my ears, chest pains, heart skipping beats, shakes that come and go, feeling disoriented and spaced out, plus a bunch of other weird stuff that has been happening to me lately.
It seems 99% of doctors up here have their heads up the asses when it comes to lyme disease as my family doctor knows basically nothing about this and i have seen an infectous disease doctor that told me none of my symptoms are lyme related.
I have had a referral sent to a LLMD in Toronto sent over two weeks ago and still have not heard back from them. Through my research it seems time is important with this disease and the early you are treated the better.
I am seekeing a GOOD LLMD in western New York that will take on a canadian patient in short notice, and start to treat immediatly with a clinical diagnosis.
If anyone could send me some info on a doctor and what they charge to see them.
I have had about enough waiting i need an appointment with a LLMD ASAP!
Thanks, Martin
