I feel like I am a future patient for the psych ward. My husband looks for every little flaw in my personality lately..like he is going to spring upon me and suit me up in the straight jacket. I am trying so hard I am on my third round of Doxy..helping somewhat. My Doc also did hormone levels..Estrogen is <7..he said normal is 150-528. So, now I am confused as to how many of my symptoms are Lyme or Menopause..I am now on low levels of estrogen..WOW..awesome..but still have lyme neuro symptoms. You know, it is so easy for me to identify them and seperate them in my mind..but so difficult for me to explain all of this to anyone else..

eileen, please break up your solid block text paragraph into short ones and DOUBLE SPACE between each one ok. we neuro lyme patients can't read as is or comprehend. i'm sure that's why you have no replies at this time. thanks ... see guidelines below.
Betty's suggested POSTING GUIDELINES . 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 ``TWICE`` after each paragraph; we need that space for comprehension.
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. 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.

Sorry show dog...
I know the confusion and mix of symptoms and sorting them all out can make you crazy.
I'm afraid it doesn't get too much better over the years.
I still have trouble figuring which is Lyme, Babs, Bart, Parvo, RMSF, and the other stuff.
You do begin to get a small grasp on it after a while... but maybe just try what the doc thinks you need and see what works.
Wish there was a better answer.
As for hubby, might as well go get an old jacket or big sweater and put it on a hanger.
When he gets that "look"... hand him the hanger with the jacket or sweater and tell him that is the new straight jacket you bought last week.
