Hello and welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

Were you sick with anything before this started? Flu like symptoms? If so has anyone mentioned Post Viral Syndrome?

I'm guessing Lyme disease is not common in australia?
Lyme... Our Govt authorities have said in the past that Lyme doesn't exist here, and that the only people who could have Lyme disease are people who were overseas in certain areas and got it there, but there are some hard working GPs in some areas that believe otherwise. There is one in Bellingen in Northern NSW. . I used to have a lot saved on computer but most of the links are years old and not working so I'll try to find it and post back. Another on Sunshine Coast in Qld from memory. Found mention of one GP in Melbourne in article below and a number of others...

That's from 2013 so some changes probably have happened since then.

Another place for info regarding Lyme Disease or Lyme like Illness is the
Karl McManus Foundation
"The KMF is a promoter of evidence-based research and
clinical practice for tick-borne diseases and an advocate
for better testing, treatment and education in Australia."

Check out the section on that site - Murdoch University Tick Research raise new questions

Australian Government Department of Health
Lyme Disease

I'm really sorry you're so sick and for so long. I hope you find some answers. That's an awful lot of symptoms you're experiencing. Not good.
