Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Copied from lupus group, not good! Any advice? If needed forward this person needs help! Yes, I am alive. Once again on prednisone. I don't know what to do at this point. My Internist is great...great, he is the one who diagnosed me with Lyme disease. I know I had 3rd stage L.D. because of the repeated test results and of course sympthoms (diagnosed in Oct 99) in 01 Dr. M sent me to the R.M. for a consult for joint pain and tests showed a high ANA panel. He said the both side pain, test results etc suggested Lupus. A friend (long distance friend)insist that the late lyme persist.RM insist its lupus,F.M.S. & C.F.S. Orthopedist insist its O.A. God I am confused! I have to say even though the prednisone uuuu makes me irritable, more depressed etc, it does make the sympthom better. When I had the shot instead of oral I felt so well for a couple of weeks. Coinsident?? ? What to do..what to do???? Now on the Prednisone x 5 days I am pain free and the weird horrible strokelike symptoms are gone, of course I could bite a nail into!!!! And hungrey!!! OMG! I am also very, what my daughter calls, " antsy " can't sit still or sleep. But hey...better than not feeling like getting out of bed. I am going to call and request an appointment with Dr. M tommorow and see what tests need to be done. Maybe a specilist? What kind? <confusion sets in> Oh my poor...poor brain! Much well wishes your way, and has anyone heard from Mitsy? Love to all, your Dizzy, Lymie, KY friend, Bre I am scared of myself at this point. I mean I know I want committ suicide, but Thats all I can think about, is death. I am a Social worker, was, now on SSD, and I know even the strongest minds can snap. Antidepressants, tried alot of different, either did not help or make it worse. Oh! I just don't know what to do. I know boo hoo...I am so sorry.
