Hi. I've been struggling for THREE YEARS to figure out "what's wrong with me". After a recent bout of sleeping for 2 days straight (this is not the first incident) I've been doing research into "what else" could be the culprit. I'm taking several anti-depressants in addition to an ADD medication to help me stay awake, looking into and eliminating food allergies, taking thyroid medication and a myriad of supplements. I seem to struggle most around ovulation or menses, but all hormone (even thyroid) test come back normal. I can't do this anymore. A while back a friend mentioned "chronic lyme disease" to me, but I brushed it off, not ever remembering getting a tick bite. However, my husband and I are avid outdoors people, backpacking, canoeing and camping any chance we get. The possibilities of Lyme, I'm learning are higher than I thought. Please help me find a Dr. in or around St. Louis. I've been diagnosed with arthritis, have chronic pain and fatigue, also brain fog and depression. Thanks for any information you can provide.

The chance of you having been bitten and not knowing it is HUGE since you are outdoors a lot!!!! Not everyone gets a rash. I didn't... and many here did not either.
I sent you a PM with info!!
