Close Lyme Disease
I have been battling this to find out most of my life. I believe my mother gave it to me. I have always had leg aches and migraines as long as I can remember. Then about ten years ago I started with neck problems and daily headaches and as most of you know was told it was all in my head and I just wanted drugs. Many doctore ( all types ) finally diagnosed me and My whole family. Looking for markers in the blood. I have never tested positive. No treatments have helped. It's been rogh!
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am having a hard time losing weight and seem to be gaining it back quickly. I have Lymes disease and it has really messed up my body's ability to function right. I also have a hard time doing to much exercise due to pain. I get depressed alot and have lost my job of 10 yrs. due to the Lymes which means I am in pain alot of the time ,very bored and emotionally eat alot of the time. I have gained about 20lbs I need to loose.
