Default thanks

HI, thanks so much for your reply. On March 14, I go to SC to a Dr.
who supposedly has been very sucessful in prescribing long term IV daily treatment for lyme. I am to the point of having a goal of "not using a wheelchair"; on the positive side, I have regressed in the strength of pain meds, going from 75 mg of methedone down to using only endocet; it's been a long battle but I refuse to go back on oxycontin or methadose; they were absolute slave masters who simply masked the symptoms of lyme and allowed the lyme to become chronic; affecting practically every bodily function. I understand I will begin 10 months of IV daily treatment in April, and I am so hopeful that this protocol will give me some relief. If I could just get to the point that I feel useful, I think my motivation could improve along with everything else. I wish you the best and hope to hear from you again. Thanks, Phillip

My Allergist thinks I have it so he had my PCP to order a test. I went to the hospital they didn't know how to do the test. I went to a lab and a new paper had to be done by my PCP to order the right test. There are a lot of test for Lyme disease. Anyway he looked up the test and picked the one they wanted and it was done and came back unfinished. Don't ask me why. It was sent to Denver and they didn't even finish the test but gave no reason why so I didn't want to deal with it anymore. I have so much going on anyway, it would have just been something else I couldn't take the medication for. LOL

I sure hope you find the help you need here, I believe you will find some good answers on meds and things you can do to help get better.

Glad you found the forum.
