Lyme Disease Woes – Relapsed Again
I can’t believe I am back to all of the constant joint pain. I’m not taking any pain medications that cause water retention and I’m all puffy handed again, too. Other symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea and whatnot are back, too. The worst part is that I’m still on antibiotics. What a mess!
No matter what the CDC says, Lyme disease doesn’t always just up and vanish after a 30 day dose of antibiotics and I am living (although slightly whiney!) proof.
By the way, I was talking to someone today who was in pain from Lyme disease for quite some time and could barely function. He thinks that Lyme disease may actually leave behind a condition like fibromylagia. His doctor treated the symptoms he had like they were being caused by fibromylagia and gave him a medication for nerve pain and I must say, he looks like he feels 99% better than the last time I saw him. It was really interesting hearing him talk about this right after I read the news article on chronic Lyme disease not existing. Perhaps calling it post Lyme disease syndrome is the correct thing to do.
