GERD, fibromyalgia, anxiety -- Lyme Disease

[miss-nasty]

2. I have a nearly identical story

I was bit on the calf of my leg in 2005 and presented to my physician with the classic bullseye rash. He said it was the most perfect example of the bullseye he'd ever seen. He placed me on Vibromycin twice daily for 10 days and said I would be fine. He was my doctor dor 48 yes, I believed him. 12 years later I am bedfast many days, crippled with all of the symptoms you described. I have such a severe brain fog that I feel drugged every day of my life. I have been to 5 doctors for an opinion and they all try to tell me that it's not Lyme and how they determine it's Lyme is because it happened in Indiana and Indiana doesn't have Lyme disease. That's friggin hogwash!!! I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, Osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, Gerd, personality disorder, morbid obesity, hypertension, IBS since suffering from the tick bite and now have a disability hearing soon. I'm getting really sick of this life and have periods of suicidal ideation from having to suffer with the doctors just shrugging their shoulders. I would so much rather work. They don't care and don't want to touch the fact that it is likely Lyme because of the controversy - some doctors have lost their medical license from administering the aggressive treatment. I am a nurse of 34 years - and found it is like beating my head against the wall to find a doctor to even thoroughly assess me. They would rather say I'm nuts!!! Yes, I had to give up an healthcare administration position, went broke and now on Obamacare to even receive medical care on the account of this malpractice by several doctors.
