MDJunction to me

Fmsdaddy"Md Junction to me is my safe place. A place where I can feel safe to just open up talk about everything without burdening my wife. With all my health issues its nice to know that I am not alone, suffering form fibromyalgia,depression, and costochondritis with anxiety is a nightmare. Having the great people here at MDjunction is so great its hard to put into words. I dont think I would be getting through what I am going through without this great resource. I think everyone should know about mdjunction!" (Fmsdaddy)

Hi Tom,

Thanks for sharing all that information. I'm searching under "lyme carditis" trying not to panic but have been having chest pain and fluttering a lot the past few days and I'm like 7 weeks into treatment so I'm surprised to be getting it still. But anyway, I wanted to suggest something outside of Lyme treatments for your shortness of breath in case it helps. An allergist cured my "asthma" a few years ago by putting me on zantac. Turns out it was GERD not asthma. Just a thought, it totally worked for me. Now the Lyme is throwing a bunch of curve balls but I'm hoping to get to a point where I'm off meds soon. I'm testing for babesia and others this week, as well as doing the IGeneX testing.

HI Soraya:

I have very bad gerd had the nissen fundepolation for it 10 years ago. GERD can cause very bad chest pains and shortness of breath, I have ended up in the ER main times due to this. I'm not saying its not lyme related but I would put my money on it, its your gerd acting up.
