Some symptoms

The last post covers just some of the symptoms that have been reported by people who suffer from Lyme disease and co-infections. There are tons of websites that have information. If you suspect that the symptoms you are feeling could possibly be caused by lyme disease or co-infections. Don't wait!!! My advise to you is go see an Infectious Disease specialist that is lyme literate. I have seen so many different specialist since my symptoms have started. I have been told so many different things that they thought were causing my ailments.  Chronic fatigue, RLS restless leg syndrome, anxiety, hormones, cluster headaches, stress headaches, migraines, allergy headaches, sinus headaches, my all time favorite, phantom pains in my head, the list goes on and on. I have tried treatment for many of the diagnoses that the doctor came up with. With no relief from the medication that I have tried, I made the decision to stop taking the medication. My thoughts have always been... I am not going to take something that does not change the reason why I am taking the medicine in the first place. Why would you take an aspirin for a headache if it does not make your headache go away. My primary doctor said there was no need to do a lyme test and dismissed my concerns years ago. It is hard that when the person you trust to make you better lets you down. I have learned that only I know how I feel. Yes, it is true that one could possible fake some symptoms or to make them seem worse then what they are. Like, "Oh honey not tonight I have a headache". Only you know how you feel. Why the hell would anyone want to fake this shit.
