Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hi Everyone, I am new here and have been reading before posting to get a feel of the group. My journey started last summer. I have a diagnoses of ms. Last summer I had a doozy of an exacerbation. Up until that point I had optic neuritis, dizziness, fatigue and neuropathy type pain. I felt I was functioning high. This past exacerbation blew me away. It was like I had just woken up and had ms. I had gait and speech ataxia, pseudobulbar affect (laughing and crying) severe depression and swallowing problems. This all has lasted since last summer. Prior to that I broke out in a rash. It was not the bullseye one but small papule like lesions. I researched from there to fever of unknown cause, conjunctivitis and swollen glands. I found myself looking at bartonella. I'm not sure but I believe the culprit was a flea. I finally found a llmd! Thats hard because there are only 3 in Canada. I explained my story and he put me on doxycin. Next month I am getting the test through Igenex. The past couple my eye area is numb and my vision is deteriating. I find at night after I take my doxy I feel sick and have vomitted. Does anyone know if the eye thing is a herx? I just find it hard to believe an exacerbation can cause this many things. I am thinking that I have super imposed lyme. Ms worsened by lyme causing an awful exacerbation. Thanks for reading. ps, I have had the strings for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
