I broke down and informed one of my co-workers that I have been dx with Lyme. He informed me of another person who was just about 100 feet down the hall from me who also had been dx.
This poor fellow had been getting worse and worse over the course of 6 years. At the time of dx he had been stricken to a cain and was forced to give up many of his hobbies.
This man, was determined not to listen to the ducks who give him dx like fibro, CFS and possible MS. He kept his search going and going until he found the right doctor who tested for LYME.
I met him last week and he's walking like a normal human being again. He has thrown away that stupid cain for good. He admits that he's not 100%.. yet! But he feels pretty good now that he's able to walk without assistance. As a matter of fact, he walks totally normal.
It's amazing to me that the majority of the medical community still does not recognise Lyme as a common chronic illness. He got the same story that I did. Lyme isn't around here. It's Fibro and CFS. Give me a break.
Today he's continuing with his oral abx. He admints that he might spend the rest of his life on abx, but if that means the difference between being in a wheel chair or walking totally unhindered, then he'll take the pills!
Hang in there ya'll. You will get better.
