It has been a long time since I was last on here but sadly not much has changed. The pain that was in both wrists and hands is now all in the left arm from shoulder to fingertips. Low back was solved as a buldged disk, shaking has been minimal for a year now but still get flu like symptoms from time to time. Doc have discovered bone growths on spine from C-2 to C-6 though not sure if they are causing pain. I want to thank everyone that gave me such help as it really, really did. My wife and I divorced after all though I still get to see my sons every day after school and every other weekend. Other than the pain life seems to have evened out though I still havn't worked in two years and hope like mad to get my disability in April. Not holding my breath but got a disability lawyer to take my case so I must have a shot at getting it. Thank you all so much again for all the advice, kind words and caring attitudes!

- Jon,
I see there are no replies. I'm sure folks care but probably can't read your post. Many can't read more than 3-4 lines without a space break.
I can't do this now but someone else may come along to break up your post - unless you see this first and then you might do that so that more can read and reply. -

jon-im sorry it has been so hard for you. many of us are going thru this-all at different stages at different times
maybe if you come back regularly you will connect with some and find some answers
maybe you will have something to share that will help us
i have learned to be greatful for whatever positive stuff enters my life. there were times when i thought it was bad and then it got worse so i learned to appreciate anything good going on
do that. enjoy what you can. time with your kids. a book. a tv show. whatever makes you feel good.
and keep trying to find the answer.
i am going to pm you a few resources about things that are new and helping others who were stuck getting well. parasites is one of those things. there is a parasite warrior thread in medical that you might want to check out.
take care.

Hi Jon,
Good luck with the disability. It can be done. That will take some stress off of you and then on to the road to recovery for you.
Sorry about the divorce. Stay tough and keep up the good fight. For your health that is.

Jon, I find the saying "when it rains it pours" so suitable for Lyme victims.
Many of us with Lyme feel that way.
This is a great place to hang out and glean tons of valuable information about Lyme disease and get the emotional support you need.
My LLMD tells me this is not a race and the journey is rather long.
I can attest to that.
I have been sick for decades, diagnosed in Nov 2011, and finally successfully treating it since May of 2012.
It has been a very rocky road, but I didn't die and I have no other choice than to go forward.
I am more than grateful for this site and the lovely/caring people on this forum.
Hang in there, we can get through this together. Blessings

Sorry about the divorce. I hope you get your disability.
Just hang in there because people do get better. I wanted to give up so many times; but I just kept pushing forward. Now I am in remission.

This sounds like it may be RSD, or reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
I suggest looking into using the SOTA Magnetic Pulser on the painful body parts.
Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields influence cell behavior by inducing electrical changes around and within the cell. Improved blood supply increases the oxygen pressure, activating and regenerating cells.
Improved calcium transport increases absorption of calcium in bones and improves the quality of cartilage in joints, decreasing pain dramatically. Acute and even chronic pain -also caused by osteoporosis- may disappear completely.
I have no connection with SOTA, I just think their products work very well.
