My husband and I are always looking things up online, trying to figure it all out. He came across something where a lady was diagnosed with fibro, but turned out it was actually lyme. It said that anyone with a dx of fibro, lupus, even MS should consider lyme.

Well, 20 years ago, I had 2 ticks burrowed in my back down in Texas. Nobody thought anything of it at that time of course. But since researching lyme, I know whole heartidly that's what it is. Of the symptom checklist for lyme, there are only a few I don't have, or have not had at some point in the past 20 years.

When I told my doc what I suspected, he laughed. But he said he would do a lyme titer to make me happy. I have read that taking Cat's Claw can help the results show a positive, so I am going to do that.

I really don't know what to do, where to turn. We can NOT afford to see someone who doesn't take insurance. And I am afraid that if my titer comes back positive that my doctor won't really know how to treat it, as from what I have been reading it seems more complex than just taking 6 weeks of antibiotics, especially after having it for 20 years.

I live in Ohio....

If anyone has any advice, or insight, I would appreciate it. I am so confused. Have been in a state of anxiety attack for days now.

Thank you,

jaime
