I think I have lyme disease and my dr won't listen. Please help with some info.

[Guest guest]

I was bitten by a tick Aug, 2008 on the back of my neck in southern indiana. I

got a circle rash that did not itch or hurt but was warm to the touch. I got

sick about 3 weeks after with flu like symptoms. Around April of 2009 I was

fired from my job for passing out and having a seizure. I feel foggy all the

time. My vitamin b12, iron, folic, vit. d all are low. My brain swells, my

lymph nodes swell constantly, I get circle rashes still, kinda resembles ring

worm but doesn't itch or spread. My kidney in the last year has gotten lesions

and I am now bleeding when I urinate. I forget everything and feel stupid all

the time. I have vision problems and sometimes have hearing problems. I look

like I am having a stroke when I have what I call attacks (when my brain swells

I guess) I get slurred speech when I have the attacks. I recently started the

tremors and muscle spasms.My ribs hurt, joints hurt, muscles hurt. stomache

problems. I have had every test known to man all come back neg. I did have the

test which came back neg. I still think it could be lyme. Please help if

you have any info. I am afraid if it is not caught my kidney will get worse.

Maybe someone can give me info on an accurate test I can take to my Dr. to run.

I am assuming I am in later stage lyme. Thanks for listening and hopefully I

can get some great advice.

Find a LLMD and don't waste your time with your present dr. It isn't worth the

aggravation. You have enough to deal with.

Hi :

I'm so sorry to hear of all your terrible symptoms. Obviously you must do

something ASAP. There is a lab with a new kind of test, using DNA, that you

might check out. They have a dual test that can identify 40 different pathogens.

You can order the test kit by phone. when you receive it, you go to a qualified

medico for blood draw. It's mailed back to the lab, then the test results come

to the Dr.

As you might imagine, it's quite expensive, but if you feel as bad as I do,

you're willing to do whatever it takes. In the long run, it's cheaper than

running from doctor to doctor in a futile effort at getting a good diagnosis.(I

figure I've so far spent at least $2,000 on medical dead-ends and

misinformation).

The lab is Spirostat Technologies, LP. The web site is www.spirostat.com. Phone

number is 806-886-2929.

In addition, you should be under the care of an LLMD or other LL health

practitioner, because once you get a diagnosis, someone has to know how best to

treat you. You might want to check out Hope Wellness Center in San Angelo,

Texas. http.www.hopewellness.com

Best of luck.
