| A little about me: | im kassie, im 19. I was bitten by a deer tick when i was 9ish and it buried into my skin over night. i didn't find it till the morning and by then it was far from easy to remove it and the head was still too far in my skin to reach. i went to a doctor and they removed the head. we asked if any meds were needed just incase i may have contracted lyme. the docter said it was not in me long enough to contract it and they didn't even bother testing the tick for lyme. a week or so later i got a rash where i had been bitten and they said it was just infected from when they had to dig it out. its been 9 years of hell now and it isn't till recently that doctors have thought it a possibility that i have lyme. ever since that bite ive always had a week immune system and been terribly ill. no doctor could tell us what was exactly wrong all we knew was that i got sick alot. now in the past few years my symptoms have gotten far worse. my body hurts all over, im tired all the time even walking around or doing the tinniest of things wear me out to the point i get dizzy and have to sit down. the mornings are the worst. i often feel like ive been hit by a truck and ive got this new symptom of stomach pain and discomfort. it then went to constant nausea and now im throwing up alot. ive fainted a few times before gone to rheumatologists, neurologist, pain clincs, chiropractors, naturapaths, almost every doctor in the book. many said it was all in my head, others just couldn't diagnose me and would try to pump me up with painkillers that didn't even work. ive had billions of blood tests done and alot of my work for lyme has come up negative even though one of my bands was reactive. im runnign out of things to do. its my senior year of high school and im afriad i may not graduate at this rate. im out of school all the time. and i fear this will mess up my future. if i don't graduate i can't get into a good college or any college at all and how can i hold down a job like this is somedays its hard to even get out of bed. I also have extremly low cortisol and PTSD. Ive been diagnosed or thought to have so many different things i just don't know anymore but most of my symptoms point to lyme. ive been thought to have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, that i was just crazy or that just nothing was wrong with me. i bealive i have lyme because of all my symptoms and the fact i was bitten and had a bulls eye. ever since then ive gotten worse. thankfully i have a loving fiancee who is very supportive of me. im here for help and to share my experience with others like me. |
