Lyme's Anyone??

[popsicle]

I have Lymes, and would like to hear from other people thathave been diagnosed. What are you major/main symptoms? What treatments are you on?

I am getting sick and tired of being sick and tired!

I was diagnosed with it like 2 months ago. Mine was caught in the early phase. I did the antibiotics for 10-14 days.

My child was diagnosed with it last spring. She was in a lot of pain. 30 days on antibiotics and she seems to be much better.

I'm waiting for my test results to come back. Anyone remember how long that took?

I was diagnosed 3 months ago. I have had it a long time apparently. I went to hospital because my tongue and hand went numb for an hour and I blacked out and when my vision came back it was blurry for a while. also had migraines. Hospital did ekg, blood test, urine test and catscan. They didnt find anything wrong with me.

went to my doctor and he did blood tests and had me get mri. blood test came back positive for lyme and mri should a couple spots in brain where the lyme is starting to spread. i took doxycycline for a month. after that i had to get a picc line placed so i can give myself iv medicine every night. the medicine is ceftiaxone. i have been doing that for 2 months. a nurse comes to my work every monday to change my bandages and clean the line. started having stomach pain so my doctor is switching the medicine to something else next week. i forget the name of it. ceftiaxone causes gull bladder issues.

i have had a lot of symtoms. some are gone and some still remain. pain in joints, mostly my fingers and toes. they are sharp, stabbing pains that come and go. fatigue. hard to concentrate. forgetfulness. hard time remembering my words and i have to pause when talking to try to think of what i'm trying to say. other symtoms too but i cant remember. i'm suppose to get another mri in 3 months to see if the medicine is working.

i'm slowly getting better. i saw my doctor today and he ordered another 30 days. we go one month at a time and re-evaluate from there

give them a call. maybe its negative so thats why they are not calling you. no news is suppose to be good news. I am pretty sure I received my results 3 business days later. Had blood drawn on a Wed and they called the following Mon.
