Exclamation Have you been tested for Lyme Disease????!!!

Lyme Disease causes symptoms of MS, hypothyroidism, and neurological symptoms. Neck pain, brain fog, forgetfulness, digestive problems . . . they all can be Lyme Disease. My pain started overnight. For two months, I had unbearable, burning pain in my hands at night, which was somewhat lessened by standing up. As the symptoms worsened, my hands started tingling and having shooting pains during the day, too. I slept in a recliner for three months for just three hours per night. Multiple doctors, three MRI's, blood work . . . One orthopedic doctor decided that I was a junkie looking for pain pills when he couldn't figure out the cause of my symptoms! (I'm a 49-year-old attorney - NOT a junkie!!) I finally diagnosed myself by researching online. I found a Lyme specialist in Illinois who saved my life with antibiotics and immune system support. False negatives are common, so when you get tested, insist that your blood be sent to IGeneX Laboratory at 795 San Antonio Road, Palo Alto, CA for the Lyme Western Blot test. Lyme Disease is seriously ignored by doctors, especially in relation to neurological symptoms.
