Hello all,

Lawrence here. I have had undiagnosed and untreated Lyme Disease

for over 17 years. Various symptoms over those years were treated

and they disappeared until about two years ago when I developed

itching lesions on my legs (Morgellons Disease). I took 28 pages

from the CDC site on Lyme Disease to my skeptical doctor. She ran

tests that came back inconclusive for the baterium....which I showed

her in the CDC literature was not unusual. Long term treatment with

Doxycycline has cleared up the Morgellons leaving scars on my

legs...and seems to be slowly clearing up the neurotoxins released by

Lyme that produced chronic fatigue. I also developed Bell's Palsey

on my right side a couple of years ago. This has NOT responded

well to treatment. For some reason bright sunlight causes my mouth

to draw on the right side and my right eye to water profusely,

affecting my vision.

I am 57 years old and I am concerned that the US may not last

much longer as a nation....and there won't be any medical treatments

available for this malady. I hate the thought of dying from

this crap, incapacitated by joint pain and other symptoms.

Anyone have any good treatment regimens I could try to rid myself

of this?

Thanks.

Lawrence

PS...I'm in West Texas. Evidently contracted Lyme in the 80s in

Lubbock, Texas.

What else have you already tried besides doxy? Maybe you need a

different antibiotic now, or a combination. Are you in touch with

other Lymies in Texas. There are quite a few.
