In reply to Lymes' disease... anyone?, posted by spriggy on April 13, 2007, at 13:52:01
spriggy, i've had Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever twice and the last time was really, really bad. i understand your frustration with the doctor visits and meds.......also, what Larry said about the immune problems is so true. it is a different issue and i will probably suffer from that the rest of my life. BUT, i've quit having "episodes" of killer headaches that put me in bed for 72 hours. it's been 6 years since i had RMSTF and the neurologist told me that the main symptoms would probably take a couple of years to pass and she was right.
i'm so sorry that you have Lymes. and i'm glad you finally have a diagnosis. i have never figured out why it takes so long to DX Lymes. they tested me for that along with the RMSTF........thank goodness you're on antibiotics now. i think you'll gradually feel better and better.........good luck, pat
