Knowledge is power....


I have been reading as much as I can

Knowledge being power and all

Interesting when all of my niggly (and not just niggly) issues over the years 

Are all spelled out under the one heading

My weight problem for one ~ SOMETHING had to be going wrong

Even without exercise, at one point I was on 500 calories per day with no result

Weight gain can be a major symptom of Lyme

Small Man doubled his body weight over the course of 5 years...30kg in the first 12 months

Sensitivity to fluorescent lighting

Acidity - high protein diets not recommended ~ I remember getting GOUT

Excessive sweating

Being a derp and walking into things, a lot

Dyslexic typing, often

Losing words ~ complete blanks on names especially

Saying the wrong word

A lot of left sided stuff early on

More and more of the children whose Mum's post on the support group for CFS/ME are posting that their children have been diagnosed with chronic Lyme.
Two just this week, out of 154 members.
I should add that both of these are in the USA ~ seeing a specialist there and getting a diagnosis is easier.
One of these Mum's was MAD last night.
Her relief that her daughter could be treated and may recover spilled over into bitterness and anger that she had to figure this out herself, and seek a diagnosis herself...

So how do you reckon I'm going to feel?

The more I read, the more confident I feel that I am on the right track.

Wow... I went into Google reader and there you were. Then I read what you have written. it all falls into place now after all your researching. Good on you. Seems like answers at last and you need to get a bloody certificate of the diagnosis and frame the thing for the Doubting Thomases. xoxo
