MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

I have Neurological Lyme. I had lots and lots of seizures that even IV ativan could not stop.

The seizures would cause my body to literally twist backward. My head would twist back to reach my feet.

Almost every joint would twist backward. My fingers, wrists, feet... For hours! SO MUCH PAIN!!!!

I had a PICC placed in July 2010 and have been on aggressive antibiotic treatment ever since.

I was in a wheel chair for several months and then graduated to a cane. Now I can actually run a little.

I had made amazing progress!!! Even holding a part time job. Way cool!

But then I quit making progress. Now my doctor wants me to go off antibiotics for a month to see what happens.

We tried that 5 months ago and I started having partial seizures. So I went back on.

I've been off this time for 3 weeks now and have not been feeling well. I feel some neurological stuff creeping back.

Does anyone have any advice for me? I don't want to stay on IV antibiotics! But I don't want those awful seizures either!

I was diagnosed with Lyme in 2009, but I've been sick since I was 16. I trust in God's Grace and power to help me through this time. "I cry out to God Most High, to God who fufills his purpose for me." Psalm 57:2

welcome sidelined Wink

it was great reading all the positive, successful things you had accomplished before your health declined.

i have no experience on seizures. we have an outstanding PROMPT SEARCH feature in upper right hand corner.

so i typed in seizures on meds IN LYME BOARD, click search.

you need to add IN LYME BOARD to all searches since there are over 800 OTHER boards here at mdj.

here's what came up; so check out the summaries that show up in this link for any possible immediate help until other members with seizures appear.
