Why wear a ribbon?

 
 "I wear the Lime Ribbon for my daughter who had Lyme Disease." (dawn21)

MDJunction to me

jayna01"My name is Jayna and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how much MDJunction has meant to me. I always felt so alone before I joined in April of 2012. I felt like there wasn't anyone that really cared about me and what I was going through. I felt like there was no one that would truly listen to me in what I was feeling. Nobody was there for me. That is before I found MDJ!

I have found and met such good people on these forums. I never ever knew there were such compassionate people before MDJ. It's also nice to know that I can come here anytime and get support for what I am feeling. I feel like I have met some wonderful life long friends. It is also an outlet for me to try and help other people that are hurting. It gives me a good feeling inside and gives me self confidence in helping other people.

I hope MDJ will be as good for you as it has been for me! Many Blessings and Much love." (jayna01)

So I wonder if it does have to do with where the nervous system is affected.

I was worried it had to do with his heart so now I feel a little better.

I am going to research what part of the nervous system affects what side of your body and will post again my findings.

Have a good week end all!

I too will mess this up.

Mine is right side. Right eye and face muscles...right arm..like a tingle but might go to sleep, same with right leg...right ankle get's weak at times..feels like I gotta be careful not to twist it..

The real twist is I was bit right side...damn that would have nothing to do with it..right???

I tell you some of the strange stuff and feelings I get,I do beleive we are all NUTS.(lol)(far from true, but love to see the expressions I get from those "normal" people)

Now remember all...this is all normal!Tongue Unsure

Caran, great question...be neat to know an answer to it...

Anything I post or respond to comes from a Lyme and Bart victim himself. I am NOT a doctor. I do my own research for ME...I may share my findings and will post them. They are for general talk and vent...If a group leader feels the info is worth saving somewhere, they are more than welcome to do with it as they like. Wlk=)

No I do not think that is nuts. I actually think that is a great hypothosis. You were bitten on the right side and your pain is on the right side. that is very interesting.

I have done a little reading and it probably has more to do with the lymphatic system then the nervous system.

Since these the lyme bugs use the lymphatice system to travel, its like they are taking the subway through your system.

They can only go one way and can only get off in certain spots because the lymph nodes are like heart valves and push in only one direction when they drain.

The funny thing is, when the lymphnodes drain they only go to either the left or right side of the body. they can not cross over or go backward.

I recall being told shingles likes to hide in the lower right ribs and somewhere specific (can't recall which level) in the thoracic spine.

Perhaps Lyme and its cohorts have preferred residencies as well?

As for me, my Lyme seems to be as ambidextrous as I am.

I had read that having pain on just one side means that it is lyme and if it is on both sides, it could be bartonella. Wish I could find the link but I have read that more than once.
Neck pain, spine pain and back pain all with cracking. Intermittent blurry vision. Migrating joint pain, ear pain, eye pain, shooting pains throughout my body. Knuckles on hands occasionally turn blue. Internal vibrations, burning sensations, shock like sensations, nerve pain.

Was on abx for 6 weeks after having severe headaches, blurry vision, neck pain, tingling and numbing. Was getting better and almost fully recovered and then started getting worse 1 month after being off abx.

I was going to ask this very question today. I have pain and muscle spasms mostly on my left side too and I think it is so weird. Not sure about my daughter's. One dd does not have a lot of pain yet but her's seem to be on her right side. My other dd, who has a lot of pain, seems to be both sides at various times.
