MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

I've been looking on every website I can find, searching everywhere, making calls everywhere...and nothing has resulted in something that could actually directly help me. I honestly feel so alone in this fight and for a long time I didn't cry about it, for years I mean. This last week, it has hit me kinda hard how much worse I've gotten over the last year and I'm just not able to cut off my emotions lately. So, my question is to anyone reading this, could you please tell me if you specifically know a doctor that really knows what the hell Lyme's Disease is, please could you email me at denise_ca_2000@yahoo.com and put in the subject line "re post for a real doctor". For a while I think I gave up a bit, I got tired of fighting what seems so impossible, and tired of being so alone in this fight. Maybe I needed this little push of emotion to put me back in the game, dunno...but I am asking one last time, can anyone help me?

Thank you. Denise.

Hey there, Don't get discouraged. There is hope out there. I am better via the alternative route with the help of some might fine docs. Check your messages, I left a pm for you. There is a way to crawl out of this blank hole. I did it and you can, too.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

Open your mind to the possibilities available to you.

An attitude of gratitude is good 'medicine,' too.

Thanks for your post. Yes, I've been there, a long standing reader actually, of that and many other Lyme's sites. I live in San Antonio, Texas. Specific doctor information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Denise
