    I’m so sorry. Will a round of Doxycycline work, or is it only effective when Lyme’s is first diagnosed?

    You are one strong woman handling GD, Lymes and 4 kids!!

    Good luck with the MRI’s.

    Well the saga goes on!
    I went the Rheum, who did tests and said all is fine except Vit D, it is one point under where it should be so this dr. said oh it must be vit D related and take the supplements and all should be fine. :shock:
    Few days later I called general dr. and she was a bit angry with that diagnosis and she said unacceptable. She sent me to a Neuro.
    I went to Neuro today and she said that this is probably STILL lyme related. I go for MRI’s soon.

    Wow! I am happy that it is "just" lyme or might just be lyme but lyme is so horribly dangerous. Even after you think that it is ok after the antibiotics… Uhg!

    Oh, no…I’m so sorry! Lyme sounds like the gift you *don’t* want…that still keeps on "giving". <img decoding=” title=”Sad” />

    Take care of yourself — and keep us posted!

    Kim: yes it is and I have to crack up with that …sure does keep on giving!

    Mom2pups, I have had 3 weeks of another antibiotic (equivalent to doxy) then 6 weeks later had 2 weeks of Doxy. THis was last year. THought it was good but then a couple of months later started feelig weird. Thought it was another kidney stone, thought it was my thyroid again, thought it was gastro related, thought it to be so many other things. Finally dr. said it can only be lyme or thyroid. Thyroid fine so now Neuro to check for lyme. And here I am.

    I will say this… I understand how people get misdiagnosed. "This" feels like thyroid and just about any other tyypical thing. Foggy brain, memory issues, weight gain(since I have graves it’s the only abnormal thing), feeling of wanting to fall asleep right at this very moment, dizzy, pains throughout body, the list is long…. any one of these can be related to thyroid. Oh and pulse racing. If it wasn’t for the fact that I know for sure I have had lyme and i do a lot of research I’d say it was something else. Concentration stinks too…hmmmm not sure if i mentioned that already lol.

    we’ll see what happens. Thanks for letting me vent here even though this isn’t thyroid related.
