People don't know Lyme Disease can affect the nervous system and any other system in your body and cause a myriad of terrible symptoms.
Here is a link to a paper on Lyme Disease by a doc who has been treating it for something like 25 years. Look at the list of symptoms. Someone handed me that list of symptoms years ago and I was astounded at how many I had.

I wish you the best and I am sorry for what you are going through. I hope you have support via your family, friends and medical community.

Hi, thanks for the kind words. Lyme was the first thoughts by myself and my PCP. Even though the tests came back negative, he put me on the meds to treat it. He said threr are chances that it could be missed bt the screen. That was three yrs ago. Even with the patch, I have break throughs of terrible pain at frequent times. I'm going to try to find someone who specializes in these pain deseases.
