So how do you get well??? Talking about it is one thing, but how do you get well after having acquired Lyme?

[coletteg.]

This is truth . Better have a huge amount of money put back since insurance doesn’t pay for Chronic Lyme .

I was bitten by an infected tick in 1986. I had a bull's eye rash and symptoms started within weeks. I was misdiagnosed for 27 years. I was told I have Late stage Lyme. I've had Lyme for 37 years now and suffer from horrible pain and other symptoms.

A doctor who has Lyme is a doctor I could relate to. All these hypotheses are great but, sorry, you cant understand.

I have severe problems with memory retrieval and memory dissociation. I cannot support myself and I'm constantly in a state of emotional anguish over the fact that I cannot pursue my interests and manage my life. I need a caregiver but I don't think that is possible with mass health and late stage PTLDS

People who have this and a few other chronic conditions encounter Doctors who tell then that it is all in their head or say if your earlier doctor couldn't help you theres nothing I can do for you, or after a few visits they refuse to schedule another visit; telling you that you are a drain on their resources, some doctors refuse to give or accept refferals, some doctors just tell you they don't want to see you again, or that you owe them and other doctors involved with you an appology, some doctors deny having received any indicative test results, etc, etc.

Why would someone go from a size 12 to a size 20? My friend was diagnosed late with the new Lymes and now has Lupus among other things. What is all of it from?!

[apathetic....]

Has anyone here been able to get ssi for this? This is unfair to me, with chronic Lyme

[delphiniapickett]

I would do anything to help fight this. Natual herbs etc

[davidmostrom]
