| A little about me: | My story with Lyme really started in 1994 when my oldest daughter was biten in a state park and contracted the disease. It took 5 years and many doctors to finally get one to treat without a positive WB or Elisa. She did however have a bulls eye that disappeared before a doctor saw it. She had been treated on and off until the birth of my granddaughter, and then she crashed hard.Through out the last 10-12 years I was having medical problems that would just magically appear. Things like a murmur and MVP,panic attacks, dizziness.I was diagnosed with MS, Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, bursitis, restless leg. I had to have a neuroma surgically removed in my foot and knee surgery. A week before the surgery I tested positive for Lyme after several negative test. The doctor didnt expect I would be positive. I asked at my last appointment to be tested for co-infection and he agreed to do it but again he didnt think I would test positive. I did in fact test positive for two different strains of Bartonella. I have 4 in my family with Lyme. My oldest just tested positive after 15 years with Lyme and Babesiosis. My youngest tested positive to Lyme and Bart and my granddaughter tested positive for Lyme and Babesiosis. She just turned 2 and we suspect that she got it in utero or thru breast milk. So I have taken up the axe and am doing what I feel is necessary to educate my patients(Im a dental hygienist) and to fight the unfair practices of the political world. I AM NOT A DOCTOR. You should ALWAYS check with your health care provider about any advice given. |
