MDJunction to me

ITeach91"MD Junction has been a lifeline to me. The support and information I receive from group members is so important for me to maintain a good quality of life. I struggled with a diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and did not know where to turn, but then I found MD and it has been one of the most important tools to help me to enjoy my life and stay as healthy as possible. We really are stronger together than we could ever be alone." (ITeach91)

I dont know why, I guess its because numbness was one of my first Lyme symptoms, but each time it returns

thats kind of a red flag for me that my Lyme is there, alive and kicking. I've been on my meds for three weeks

now. Immediatly after getting on the meds I started to notice improvement, but a few days ago the numbness

came back, which is a symptom I havent had since the second time I was treated by my pcp. (I am currently

being treated by my LLMD. I guess I dont have a real question, just kind of voicing my disappointment, and

confusion. I mean I know Lyme is completely unpredictable. But I thought I was getting better and was not

going to herx or anything, i mean after all it has been three weeks and most of my symptoms had gone away,

or only showed up late at night. I guess my journey has only just begun....

"yes, you've only just begun" the carpenter's song of the 70s.

you'll hit rock bottom before you start climbing to the top for remission.

please keep a journal of when things start/stop and if you notice things making them worse; a pattern.

please also keep your sentences TOGETHER; not divided in the middle of each sentence; helps us neuro folks keep our train of thought what the post is about. thank you Wink
