Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I will try to make this short... in 2001 I got bit by a bunch of ticks one day and around one got a bulls eye rash. My life hasn't been the same since. Like most of you, I got a bad mono-like flu, then my knees started to hurt, bad headaches, eye pain and pink eye, then i started forgetting simple words, strange rashes. It was 2 years before I finally had insurance and saw a doctor about it. I have been fighting this for 6 years and every doctor I have ever been to tells me to get a hobby, or they don't know what is wrong, or I need to see a different specialist. The reason I don't know if I am in the right place is that last summer a neurologist did an MRI and spinal tap and said it isn't lyme and it isn't MS. Then another doctor ruled out Lupus. So has anyone else been told it isn't lyme and then years later had more testing and been diagnosed. Is it possible the spinal tap and MRI tests were wrong? I am still determined it has to be lyme since all my health problems started when I got that bulls eye rash. I am sick of doctors giving me pain pills and NSAIDs and telling me it is all in my head.
