Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Gosh. I can not tell you how much all of your responses have meant to me. I guess you will soon read my other post this morning, meaning, " the waste-of-time trip to the ER " post. What a quack. Several of you have suggested going to Dr. J. in NC. Well, I called him, and as of 2 weeks ago, he is NOT seeing new patients. I begged, I pleaded, offered money, but to no avail. He will be opening a new clinic in December, and may be taking folks then. I am on a waiting list. I did call Dr. C. in AL, and am seeing him next week. It is a 7 hour drive for me, but I don't care. If someone would just LISTEN to me and not tell me I'm nuts, I'll be happy. Of course, a cure would be good too. I faxed him my HUGE list of symptoms and past history, because I don't want to drive 7 hours if it's worthless to go. He called me back and said, yes, I should come there because I sound like a classic lymer. It was nice to be validated for once. So my journey starts this Sunday. We will make a beach trip out of it. If someone had told me I would be driving 7 hours to see a doctor whom I have never met just because a bug bit me, I would've told them they were crazy just a few months ago. This disease makes you desperate. I have a little more feeling in my legs and arms today, but they still feel " disconnected " . I wake up from a nap and am not sure if they are there! I have to wiggle them and feel them to be sure. They are not paralyzed or numb to the touch. It's just like my brain doesn't believe they're there. Anyone else have this? Thanks, y'all, for everything, Meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
