Madisongrrl,
Thanks for all this. Sorry for the delay in responding. But I did receive and read your helpful note, and really appreciate the sentiment. I’m glad I find this and you and the others, and hope that we can all received some relief, if not a cure. I’m sorry to hear that you have been suffering so much. Your situation sounds worse than mine. I also had tinnitus, spasms, lots of joint pain, but no burning, or very little. The tremor on my left side can be bad, but often or mostly when I’m about to go to sleep. Recently, the worst has been face symptoms, lots of numbness, tingling, shocks and the like. Not fun. But overall, I think I’m doing better. But honestly who the hell knows with this illness?! I do hope you’ve continued to improve with your treatment now that they know at least one of the causes. I also hope that more and more you receive back some of the self you were, your life, identity and all that defined you. This has hit me hard too, and I’ve been through lots of reassessing and rethinking of who I am, what I want and can have in my life. It’s something you don’t expect to deal with in your mid-30s. The diet has and does help. I use Ketostix now and then, and they show .5, which is what my lab blood test showed. It’s good. You don’t want to be stuck in the extremes of ketosis. I’ve been on this for 6 months. It sounds like you had a healthy diet pre-SFN, so I’m not surprised that yours at least partly, if not entirely, came from a foreign entity, Lyme. Mine is likely autoimmune, given my diet and lifestyle, but perhaps that just made worse a foreign invasion, so to speak. I’m going to treat for that, since I really don’t know what else to do, or where to get the meds you’re getting. It doesn’t work that way here really, though I could try to ask my GP. There are no physicians working outside the system in Canada. But more and more I’m thinking of heading across the border and seeing what I can get done. It will be at a financial cost though. Thanks again for all the helpful links, advice and for just commiserating. If you have any ideas, anything that can help, I’d be grateful. In the meantime, I hope you keep improving. Quote:
