I agree with Madisongrl....since you BOTH have symptoms, please check for tick born illness...the bite of one tick can give one numerous diseases like Lyme Disease, Erlichia, Babesia, Tularemia, etc.

I have a long history of Lyme Disease and Erlichia and my neuropathy and pain was caused by infection. The medical establishment in America has been very dismissive of Lyme Disease/tick born illnesses and have basically swept it Under the rug. Treated early, one should be fine, however, allowed to linger, untreated for yrs, it can have very serious consequences. I have permanent nerve damage that has caused extensive neuropathy, damage to my brain(hippocampus) that has caused memory and cognitive issues, light and sound sensitivity, simple seizures, headaches, insomnia and overall body pain that flares up from all sorts of triggers.

I cannot focus on a task to save my life....I have notebooks and post it's all over because my memory is so poor.

Please, I am not trying to scare you, just inform you. The tests for Lyme Disease are not great so the diagnosis needs to be made by your doctor after he/she weighs all the factor/symptoms and determines you likely have the ill ESI's and gives you a course of antibiotics....never, never take less then 6 weeks...the medical establishment has somehow promoted you only need a few weeks. IF YOU STILL HAVE SYMPTOMS, YOU NEED TO KEEP TAKING ANTIBIOTICS.
Many docs know very little about tick borne illnesses or believe it is a minor issue.

On page 11 of this paper by Dr Joseph Burrascano is a list of symptoms that can be caused by a tick bite. Or goggle Dr Richard Horowitz in Hyde Park New York.

Use the search function on this site for Lyme Disease as I know I have put more info around this forum.

I wish you the best,
Diandra

p.s. here is a video with two docs on either side of the Lyme Disease controversy...listen to Dr Horowitz, he knows his stuff. Many docs and organizations who downplay tick borne infections have been found to have ties to insurance companies. If I had NOT had extensive IV antibiotics, my seizures would still be devastating, my migraines daily and my pain completely uncontrolled and the poor memory of an Alzheimer's patient.

You and your daughter are in my heart and on my mind. The very best to you.

Hi Healthgirl,

I am so sorry this seems to be affecting your daughter now, it is bad enough dealing with illnesses ourselves, terribly unfair when our children are affected and we have no immediate answer. I am sure she will be in everyone's thoughts and prayers.

As to cause, I agree that you should explore every avenue from mould to tics, search out Drs who will listen to your concerns and opinions. But always keep an open mind, while strange that you have both been afflicted within a short time, there is a chance that causes are different.

Good luck, and all the best to your young one,

Dave.
