Hi everyone! I really need your help. I have been suffering with what I believe to be lymes for three years, have had two blood tests that have been negative(Elisa). Started with unexplained flu symptoms in June of 2005, tingling and numbness at beginning and now in areas of fingers, toes, and calves of legs. Have had bad headaches, stiff neck, ringing in ears, leg pain, foot pain, arm pain, just have not felt good since this all started. My pcp is no help. Need the name of a LLMD in my area Waterbury, Hartford, CT. anywhere in Ct. Thanks, Queenbee

QUEEN, welcome; so glad you found us!
i see you have 2 referrals good!!!
please edit your post and break it up for us neuro patients who can't read solid text. instructions are below! big thanks!
Fyi: we have over 1000 viewers daily; 200 - 400 posting/replying so we all must manage our time well; so specific titles get our time/replies. NON-SPECIFIC ONES, I SOB, SCROLL ON BY! *************************************************************
Also, please be VERY SPECIFIC in subject line what you will be discussing.
Example:
PLEASE show your positive, +/-, and IND numbers from both western blot IGG AND IGM blood tests; do it this way please!
IGM ... do same thing for IGG below IGM *******************************************
18 + 41 +/- 78 IND
When you post or reply, please break up your solid, continuous block text welcome to the board! many of us have neuro lyme where we can NOT read long solid block text and be able to comprehend and read it as is.
please edit your post by CLICKING PAPER/PENCIL ICON to right of your name. that opens up BOTH subject line and body text.
now please break up your WORDY SENTENCES into one sentence paragraphs. Then hit ENTER KEY ``THREE`` after each paragraph; we need that space for comprehension.
if you are NOT a wordy person, you can do 2 or 3 total ok. do this for your entire post.
NOTE: you do NOT have to use "", just show the name of person you are responding to, and then type your comment.
IF you need to use "", PLEASE DELETE "BOLD" CODES so it's regular type text we read vs. the DARK, HARSH/PAINFUL BOLDING.
specifically, delete the first 4 characters of 2ND LINE of a ""
[QB] just delete these 4 characters, and BOLDING is GONE! my eyes will really appreciate that; it's one very bad side effect of my having lyme for 38.5 years!! xox
then go to left hand corner and mark box to receive ALL REPLIES, and click EDIT SEND
we thank you for helping us; otherwise, we will SOB, SCROLL ON BY, since we can't read to help you. If I see posts like this, I SOB them; to hard on me. I'm also in the early stages of losing my eyesight from diabetes retinopathy.
