      hey there jackster! i am in NJ and have lyme too and could really use your help. i was wondering if you got "the rash" or if you tested positive before you were able to be treated. also, i was curious if you knew of any docs who might be able to help me. this lyme stuff is a nightmare to try to get help with and i am in a bad financial situation, so i need to be sure i go to the right doc the first time! i live in medford and you can feel free to call me 856-296-5457 thanks!

      Hi everyone, I just found out I had Lyme Disease in August 2006. I've had some really bad up and downs since then. I had some problems with some meds I was on, but I waiting for the "cure" !

      Treatments

      Amoxicillin Somewhat Helpful
      While on the Amoxicillin, I was getting bad vertigo, very dizzy. Some stomach cramping also. Not such a great med for me.
      Ceftriaxone Working / Worked
      I am on an IV now for 3 weeks. It must be working cause I feel like hell. The wonderful Herks !
      Doxycycline Working / Worked
      This was the first med my doctor put me on. I was very sick in bed. It was as if a bomb went off in my body. I had sun rash from this just from walking my daughter to and from school. Stomach cramping was also and issue. Did I mention Yeast....everywhere !
