She's further down the road than you are, and may be able to give you some ideas, contacts, or support. It's worth a try to reach out to her, I know she does a lot of natural remedies in addition to traditional western medicine. http://www.wilddingo.com/lyme-disease/Lindsay Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640109417621882634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224318100614516009.post-42693796626447715002015-09-06T12:52:38.609-07:002015-09-06T12:52:38.609-07:00I'm so sorry your going through this, I know h...I'm so sorry your going through this, I know how powerless it makes you feel. I had a total meltdown in a doctors office once, which I'm sure didn't help how they viewed me. It wasn't pretty. But hey, I had the right to cry! I had 5 years of the doctor brush off before someone finally figured it out. I remember how amazing it felt to be told what was actually going on, after so long being told basically it was in my head (because young people should never be sick, right?). I'm glad they at least validate you that something is wrong, even if they can't figure out what to do with you. I have a friend with Lyme, I've watched her battle it. She's gone into the "Wacky World of Alternative Medicine", to try and get some relief. She also recently started a steroid treatment for her cortisol levels being about zero (that took a week at a clinic to get figured out). I hope as it is becoming a more and more noted disease the funding for research will follow shortly, along with more acceptance from doctors. I know you'll keep pushing for help, what else can you do, you know? Eventually someone will take the plunge and try to treat you even if they are mostly shooting in the dark. Is traveling to a clinic a option for you? In any case, I'm glad you are able to vent with the blog. It helps. And I'm very glad your husband is so supportive, that makes a world of difference! If you would like to email me, I'm good at listening and I get the chronic pain part, I can also put you in contact with my friend (who has found a few lyme friends herself). I don't know if she can give you any new ideas (besides possibly some alt med stuff), but it's really nice to be able to talk to someone who's been there. I know I couldn't make it as well as I have without the support of other people with Psoriatic Arthritis, even if they are only online. I will keep you in my thoughts!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418461551352612607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224318100614516009.post-54964129388344330592015-09-05T09:10:16.533-07:002015-09-05T09:10:16.533-07:00You're so strong!

You have to be your own advocate and there has got to be more out there...although I know it's really tough to keep knocking on doors and have people tell you they can't do anything for you.

I was healed (*eye roll I know*) in one session by an osteopath after years of teeth grinding and back pain.

I seriously can't imagine. For around 5 years, I struggled to find a diagnosis for my issues (random vomiting, pains, lethargy, headaches, etc etc etc) and I know how much the wondering absolutely sucks. By far, some of the worst years of my life. Finding out what was wrong with me was a thrill, as was getting treatment even though my disease is something I still have off-days with. I am hoping and crossing my fingers for you! You definitely have a wonderful attitude about everything!Kalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011912207459834938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6224318100614516009.post-60754295873474069702015-09-03T19:05:10.478-07:002015-09-03T19:05:10.478-07:00I really hope that some research comes out with co...I really hope that some research comes out with concrete solutions soon - what you're going through is so incredibly debilitating and I don't blame you one bit for crying in the drs office. I cried when they told me I might have to have surgery on my pinky finger, for goodness' sake. I think you have a spectacular attitude about it all.
