Welcome to mdjunction!

Can we know a bit more about you?

Age?

Prior diagnoses?

Current symptoms?

Etc.....

You can private message me or respond to this post which ever you preferr. Laura

P23 and P41 bands positive, IBS like symptoms caused by possible candida, herbal and antiobiotic treatment, gluten free, candida diet.

I do not have a medical license so my suggestions are limited to personal experience and research. Also I am not a lawyer so if I offer advice relating to school issues it is only from my experiences as a special education teacher, my own disabilities real or Lyme induced, and research.

Laura

I'm 48 and unfortunately, my memory isn't very good but I'll do my best.

About 15 years ago, I began experiencing debilitating pain in my knees. My migraines increased and I developed memory loss and horrible fatigue.

This went on for about 6 weeks when they finally diagnosed me with Lyme. I cannot remember the test they used but it did come back positive.

Throughout the years, the symptoms returned and I had number PICC lines put in. Each time the 28 treatment was completed, I felt like a new person.

Then, whenever I would get sick or end up with pneumonia, the symptoms would (always with something new) return with a vengeance.

In February of this year, I fell at work and ended up with whiplash.

I've been struggling with depression and migraines for a few years now along with horrible pain in my hips.

About three months after the fall, I developed floaters in my eyes (My right eye is horrible. It's like looking thru lace). I saw a specialist and he believes it is due to my Lyme.

So after waiting two months to get an appointment with an LLMD in Wisconsin, it turns out I can't afford even his blood tests.

I've begun a new, healthier diet and am looking to find a DR who can get me on antibiotics.

I cannot eat anything that's sugar free because the artificial sweetener triggers my migraines. Pinch So I've really cut out a lot but some I'm just going to reduce the amount.

I'm doing the best I can trying to care for my DH, son and all our pets but I just need a boost of something to jump start the healing again.

Thanks for reading,

Melissa
