Sharon... I just did a quick check on your DX...Think it is time to get back with an LLMD...the symptoms are overlapping...and of course multiple systems atrophy - is of UNKNOWN cause... Mayo Clinic ALWAYS drops the ball when it comes to LYme...and with a previous dx of it...Yes...you more then likely have had a flare up of the illness...possible reinfection too...that is causing such severe reactions... Mayo Clinic is NOT the place to go for anyone who has Lyme - whether it is active or not...NOPE they would rather give you DX's of unknown origen rather then look at the HUGE picture of Lyme and the OVER 300 illnesses, diseases, and symptoms, and conditions that it can mimick and create... Pitiful....DO you need a new LLMD (Lyme Literate DR) - IF so...please make a request here in the LLMD request forum...follow the instructions by irenwill - and we can get that info out to you.... If you are interested in alternative practitioner options...please feel free to PM me... Hang in there Christine [b]Group Leader Disclaimer[/b]

"I'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road...
And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up, Imma face my demons
I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now" Eminem Not Afraid |
"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
