"in august 2008, i accidentally found this site and i love it. i have struggled with narcolepsy since 1993 and to this day i have never met another narcoleptic in person. to share my story and read the stories of others as well as try to help others means the world to me. i want to thank all those who are there to listen to me and to give me advice...."

hope after all?

Thanks to Yvonne I have an appointment with a Lymes doctor....

FINALLY!

May 28 2008

A doctor who says, Yes, I believe you have lymes! and not only that but we are going to treat it, and we are starting today!

I cant tell you what it feels like to have a doctor lookat me and and not think it is in my head because my tests are negative. I am so thrilled that I have just swallowed the first dose of hope and anitibiotic!

I have almost all of the checklist symptoms and so he wanted to start treatment immediately! And after 18 years of tests and appointments and physical therapy and pain killers and bogus diagnosis'. There is light at the end of the tunnel! This doctor is my hero and an angel. I told him how angry I am for being sick for so long and he says, you have every right to be angry! WOW.

Then he said something key to me, he said if someone hasnt had Lymes, they have NO IDEA HOW BAD IT IS. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not nuts! Please God let the medication work. Give me the strength to handle everything I am about to encounter in my quest for health!

Thanks again Yvonne for encouraging me to get to a LLMD.

I am in Wisconsin, I dont knmow how convenient that is for you. I first contacted Fox Valley Welness Center but couldnt get in until August and I was too anxious so I asked them if there was anyone good closer to me. They reccommended Dr. Gregory Hoffmann in Waupaca. I called and was able to get in the very next week!
After 18 years of tests and opinions...blah blah blah...he takes a "can do" approach and says lets get this thing killed! Started me on a arse kicking oral anti-b along with some vitamins and protective things like adicdofilous, milk thistle and B-Complex.
He also said.....dont give up, we will kill this thing! and said it certainly was NOT in my head!
If central Wisconsin wouls work for you I will bw happy to give it to you, let me know

I am starting day 3 of treatment right now and I am excited!!
