As my progress threw this rough disease continues. I have new symptoms which seem to occur. I've been getting a left side pain, testicular pain, and sometimes pain urinating, REALLY spacey headed/light headed, no engery. I even get some bad back pain. Way back awhile ago, before we knew i had lyme my growth horomone was really low. We never pursued getting it fixed. Being that im 6'5 the dr. wasnt conserned. But what im worried about now is that i may have prostate problems?? Or maybe im just low in testorstone? I also am loosing wieght and gaining fat. . I was wondering if lyme causes inbalances in production of different forms of testostorone or something along those lines??

A man I knew had prostate pain before he realized he had Lyme.

He unfortunately thought that Sanford in CA would be a good place to go.

They probably would have done a lot of expensive tests on him (maybe even an operation?) except that he 'discovered' an llmd who put him on aggressive abx and ---viola!---- no more prostate pain.

Happy ending. And he's in long term and healthy remission. Another success story for abx.

However------ anything like that should be investigated with the help of an llmd---- and not rely on my or others' opinions and anecdotal stories.

Please get it checked thoroughly? With an llmd's assistance.
