Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Hi Everyone, My name is Kris. I'm a 27 yr.old single mother of two, living with Lyme's for nearly 3 yrs. now. I was diagnosed about 2 yrs. ago. The first year of this nightmare spent being misdiagnosed & tested for everything under the sun. My tests for Lyme's continually flip- flopped...one would be neg, another positive, and so on. I found the 'bullseye' mark all over my body, but never developed the rash and I never got meningitis. The doctors constantly told me that I couldn't possibly have Lyme's because I never developed the 'common' symtoms. Such bullshit! I've talked to so many others suffering with Lyme's and there are so many of us who never had the same symptoms. We all seem to differ at some point. But all the doctors I went to (4), just wanted to shove doxycyclene & penicillian down my throat & told me I would be fine in a few weeks. After the 4th doctor & 3 months on antibiotics, I wasn't getting any better. I was constantly sick to my stomach, lost a tremendous amount of weight, not to mention losing my hair, and living in constant pain. So I quit the doctors. I know it wasn't such a good idea, but finding a good doctor who understood me & my suffering wasn't happening. It seemed like every doctor I went to wanted to get me out of their office ASAP. I haven't been to a doctor in over a year or so, and I know I need to go to one. Everyday is painful. My legs & neck are constantly hurting. My vision is failing & my emotions...I'm on the emotional rollercoaster from hell! My question...Where can I find a 'good' doctor in land? Do any exist? Does anyone know of any doctors close to land? Thanks in advance for your help. Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
