Please help me find a LLDR in Arkansas. I have just discovered your website tonight.
I've been experiencing severe pain, fatigue, coordination problems, joint pain, muscle pain and weakness, etc for several months now.
The joint pain began a couple years ago and has continued to get worse. My doc here kept telling me it was arthritis and just effects of growing older. I'm only 60. I've always been very active, showing horses all my life and an outdoors type of individual.
I got so bad in November that I couldn't even get out of bed for almost a week. My husband had to help my to the bathroom. My feet hurt so bad that I can hardly walk.
I've fallen three times in the last month because I can't catch my balance. The pain is severe when I start to raise my arms.
I started going to a Fibromyalgia clinic in Dallas and was diagnosed with fibromyalisis. No one has ever tested me for Lyme's.
I have been exposed to ticks all my life due to living in the country and although I take many precautions to prevent tick bites, occassionally, I'll get one or two.
I've tried to find a LLMD here to no avail. I live about halfway between Little Rock, AR and Springfield Mo. My husband and I are supposed to leave Friday for a month in Florida, but I'm afraid I'll get down there and get worse.
If ANYONE can offer suggestions as to a doc or center, please help. I am getting so desperate, sometimes I just want to give up.
