- October '07- I'm an architect & saw ticks crawling on my shirt & pants at a job site. I picked them off & did not remember to check my self when I got home.
- November '07- became very tired. I used to work out 5 days a week & take on larger house projects. I would come home from work & lay on the couch. I forced my self to start working out again & by the end of Nov I thought I pulled a muscle between my right shoulder blade & spine.
- December '07- the tightness in my rear should became much worse & I had shooting pains down my right arm & up my neck. My primary doctor told me to see a chiropractor (I did not)
- Jan'08- I had an upper respitory infection & since my wife was 8 months pregnant my doctor gave me Levaquin & soon learned what a herxheimer reaction was without knowing I had Lyme. I told my doctor what was going on & he had me come in for a blood test. By the end of the month I was diagnosed w/ Lyme & given 2 months of doxycycliene (Feb & Mar '08).
- After the 2 months of doxy my primary doctor stopped the antibx & I went down hill fast w/ fatigue & really bad brain fog. I saw 2 infectious disease doctors & a neurologist all claiming I did not have Lyme- or no longer had Lyme. I had no treatment for 2 months (April & May '08)- I even had a spinal tap when I started having memory loss.
- June'08- I finally found Dr K in Madison CT & she put me on 5 months of biaxin & plaquenil. I had to stop that due to stomach issues I'm now on my third month of doxycycliene.
- September '08- I found a natriopath who does the f-scan & Rife- which I think is getting me better. All my blood test show I only have Lyme- but the Fscan says I have Lyme, Erlichea & Bartonella (I still need to be scanned for babasea & microplasma)
- I no longer have memory loss, no more anxiety, the body aches are not as bad as they were- but are still there sometimes. My biggest issues now are brain fog & fatigue. My energy level is nowhere where it used to be. As far as brainfog goes- it also is no where as bad as it used to be- in the mornings I'm not too bad- but it starts to get worse by mid morning and continues to get worse & peaks around 4-6 PM and then lets off again around 8-9PM. This is really driving me crazy- it is hard to work & the worse part is that I want to enjoy my first child/ new daughter & instead this has happened.
Doctor
- I've been seeing Dr K in Madison CT since June '08. She has gone through severe Lyme- so she understands the hell we go through---but on the other hand I've heard that she does not treat Lyme aggressively enough. Can anyone recommend LLMDs in CT?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
