Lyme Disease Support Group

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

Alrighty here I go...

on my rant and rave...I had my annual physical last week with my pcp. I couldn't see him since april because I have had no insurence. Well the infectious disease specialist I saw last year told me that my test came out negative and my pcp doesn't want to step on his toes by disagreeing right away so he is sending me to a neurologist to make sure that I don't have some kind of muscle disorder or myopathy. O.k. so am I now entering the world of misdiagnoses?! errrr...

So my neurology appt. is november 17th..

What should I do? I have looked online for lyme literate docters in the rhode island area and all i could find was a pediatrition. :(

Does anyone know of any?

I need some help!

Thanks!

Also you might find this website helpful and this doctor has a test online $15 that will tell you in five minutes if you have a biotoxin disease. It doesn't tell you which one you have. It's Richie Shoemaker, MD in Maryland. www.chronicneurotoxins.com It's called the Visual Contrast Sensitivity (VCS)test. He has some pretty good information on Lyme disease. Mine came back negative because I believe operator error. At the doctor's office it was highly positive for biotoxin disease. I have mold in my body from a medical procedure and Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency and most likely brain and liver damage.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
