Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi everyone, I have been having sciatic nerve pain so I finally went to my new doctor (non LLMD). The ortho doc said I really think you should see a rheumatologist after I told him that I am still dealing with Lyme. I about jumped off the exam table and yelled at him for being ignorant. (I would never do it but...) I even told him that I had seen a rheumatologist starting when I was 3yrs old and stopped as an adult. AND never tested positive on any arthritis blood test. Told him it turned out to be Lyme this whole time 45 years later. They even had a sign on the exam wall that said doctors don't give out antibiotics when it's not needed. whatever... I wish some day the medical world would realize that there are people who have late Stage Chronic Lyme. I hate going to the doctors and wait until something is really bad. The Lyme controversy is unreal and not easy to unravel. What is the benefit for them not to recognize Lyme? There are more cases of Lyme than AIDS. It's actually an epidemic but no one wants to finally do something. One town the other night on the news thought it would be a good idea to shoot the excess deer to lessen the Lyme exposure. How about creating something that will kill off the ticks instead. hmmm sorry for ranting... I'm at my wits end.. 45 years of Lyme has done me in.. The daily pain and other stuff is too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
