  • @svgbaritone or anyone with concerns of tick illnesses, contact ILADS & LDA online for a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD). (ILADS International Lyme & Associated Diseases Association...LDA Lyme Disease Association) They will provide you with LLMD's within your area. The Healingwell forum (online) has a Lyme Forum as well as many other diseases/conditions. members at that forum are usually helpful. Good Luck to you. (I'm a Lymie for yrs too....I know how you feel)

  • @svgbaritone You know, I am starting to see how much people with Lyme are being ignored. I contracted Lyme when I was ten, but since I had the "typical" bulls-eye rash where the tick was, the doctors treated me quickly and I fully recovered.

    I am deeply sorry that you are now suffering due to the physician's neglect. Are you certain that there is there nothing else that can be done? Have you seen a neurologist?

    My best wishes!

  • @silentobservor It is Lyme Disease, I was diagnosed in 2005 after being ill for years. Initially I was given one round of abx and dismissed. Saw a psychiatrist, who felt I was "not crazy" but ill I did find a doctor who attributes damage to Lyme and things are getting better. Because I was dismissed initially though, I now have degenerative arthritis, Neuro Problems and ADHD to name a few. All it took was being heard finally. Though, I have to live with the damage.

  • @svgbaritone Do you mean you have been going through a serious or mysterious illness? If that's the case, you definitely should break your silence . You should, perhaps, talk to a doctor.

    If you mean something else, I would definitely suggest a counselor. I'm sorry you're dealing with this :(

  • I'm feeling it's time to break my silence on what I've gone through.

    Can anyone help me with where to begin?

  • Google Dars Toy Story Wrote it 2 1/2 yrs ago. It has helped many tell love ones what its like living in our bodys

  • It's Criminal that we have to go through this

    Please register your Lyme at The Lyme Disease National Registry

    LDNR . Org

  • Wrote a Lyme disease brochure with the help of 2 Lyme specialists. Will email to anyone interested.
