"Lyme Awareness" (karazon)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

Oh, sure, it crossews my mind all the time,.. I'd LOVE for it not to be Lyme, but I've had comprehensive testing done, and that stuff is cool how it works. How your body can tell you what's going on, etc. My LLMD feels it is way more reliable than the blood, but we are still doing the labs so hopefully I can get my proof down on paper in that way.

I'm still working at getting my doctor to refer me out to a specialist and get an MRI and whatever I else I can get out of them, and to make sure there isn't anything else going on. Lyme can cause other conditions, and a person could certainly have other serious conditions going on unrelated to the Lyme as well.

My brain pressure is getting so bad I thought a few times this evening I might pass out. It scares me. It may very well just be the Lyme, but even that is scary,.. having them in your brain. But, it also scares me when I get these feelings, and it feel like my head is going to explode,.. not a headache, I get those, too, but this feels like my brain puffs up and becomes too big for my skull. Sometimes all I can do is grqab my head, and pray it doesn't explode,.. it's that kind of feeling,.. like you have a brain tumor or something kind of scary. So, I want an MRI.

So, no, it's not just you..... the thought crosses my mind,.. especiaslly on my good days. Unfortunatly, I do believe mine is Lyme,.. mine is. I know it, and so does my LLMD..... again unfortunately. But at the same time,.. it's a good thing to know what it is so we can finally start treating me properly..... You, too hun! It's okay to have doubts...... Hang in there!! (((BIG HUGS)))

I have them especially when I exert myself which is scary and strange. NEVER had them pre-Lyme.

Also, I have floaters. Ever present black shadow things floating around in my eyes. When I'm well again, I'm going have them lasered out. There are a couple docs in the U.S. who can zap them.

Really? You can have the floaters lasered? I've been getting black ones now for about a 6 days. They were never black before, now they bug me and distract me..... I will be talking or working on something and completely get sidetracked because of them.

I am wondering though... if these floaters are because of the Lyme, if you could have them lasered out,... wouldn't they just come back?

Hmmmmm.... interesting thought. Anybody ever try having this done?
