Where do you live?  Sounds like Lyme to me -

Go on www.lymedisease.org and read read read.......many other websites to go to

from that site........but let us know where you live and then we would be able

to let you know doctor in your area who could test her for lyme and

co-infections......

good luck.......Diane

Subject: [ ] Is this Lyme?!

 

Hello everyone. I am really close to positive my youngest child has Lyme

Disease. She has severe legs pains pretty frequently. That was the first thing I

noticed. I have to rub her legs with aspercreme and soak her in a hot bath with

epsom salts and even give motrin when it's bad enough. This year she started

telling me about vision disturbances she's been having... she said somteimes

things she's looking at get bigger and smaller and bigger and smaller. Then she

said sometimes things spin. I took her to a neurologist who sent her to an

optomologist who said she had " Alice In Wonderland Syndrom " . Uh what the heack

is that? She's also had tingling in her arms and legs and ringing in her ears.

Her personality has also completely and totally changed this year...she's 8 so

it's not puberty. She went from being a completely happy all the time, afraid of

nothing, love everybody child to a kid who has frequent nightmares, anxiety,

depression, anger, and trouble with schoolwork. Does this sound like it could be

Lyme? What kind of Doctor do I go to to get her tested? I call my pediatrician

for a referal a week ago and have heard nothing back. If it is Lyme, it's

obviously bee around for a while...the leg pains for sure have been a year or

more...what would that mean treatment wise? Thanks so much for any help I am so

concerned about this and I know NOTHING about Lyme.

hi, Im not a doc, but I think that your daughter almost certainly has lyme and

some of the coinfections (lyme refers to just borreliosis) . Those are all

pretty classic symptoms of lyme disease. www.canlyme.com has a very good list

of symptoms. Are her symptoms worse at night?

Where do you live? I think your first move is to locate a lyme doc in your

area. You might also inquire about GPs who treat lyme to some degree and might

get her on some antibiotics to start with.

Best of luck,
