I’ve been suffering for a long time and a holistic dr without ordering tests did a screening of me and he diagnosed me with Lymes Disease. Everything I’ve been dealing with makes sense now. The swollen joints/arthritis, achy-ness, muscular pain, extreme nausea and vomiting, fibromyalgia, neurological issues that are associated, etc. pretty much every symptom listed I have.
Should I spend time finding and going to a dr to get the correct diagnosis...? #lymesdisease
I am a Pet Groomer for 20 yrs in this industry ..i had a client move from Miami to Tennessee and get Lyme Disease he was hospitalized and in the ICU almost dead ..so if you have Lyme disease and never treated it for 13 yrs ...it would and can spread to major organs and your brain...if left untreated all these years
13 yrs you have suffered all these symptoms and haven't seen any doctor's, Er..visits? Once a woman is pregnant they test your blood for many thing's ..Lyme Disease was not found in your blood while you were pregnant?
They don’t test for lymes disease when you are pregnant... it’s a different test you have to order. And yes I’ve been to drs and the er many many times. They always mis diagnosed... at one point for 4 years I was in the emergency room every other day. Not exaggerating I have so many bills 😭
@mommacrow1133 not saying your exaggerating just sorry to hear your suffering 13 yrs wow...
@mommacrow1133 blood tests are way more accurate the longer a Person has Lyme Disease
However, in the first 3 weeks of the infection, the test is only up to 40% accurate. I would follow whatever route of intervention your holistic doc recommends. Any other doc is going to push antibiotics immediately. I would also do your own research on Dr Bill Rawls and healing Lyme naturally.
@mommacrow1133 you could also begin the AIP diet as most symptoms of Lyme are similar to arthritis and other inflammatory diseases ❤ holding you in my heart.
@northwoodsmomma, been reading about that dr thank you so much again for the information!
@mommacrow1133 you're so welcome! Glad you are finding the information helpful.
Yes. I think in these circumstances you should do whatever you need to in order to be given the correct diagnosis.
Yes.. however, Lyme disease is notoriously hard to diagnos through blood tests alone. At one point we thought my husband may have it and even when the tests came back negative our doctors warned us that many times it’s not detected on the tests. So be prepared for that.
