Lyme
Finally, after two years of sickness, I finally have a diagnosis. The Functional Medicine doctor my PCP sent me to sent my lab work off to a place in California (iGENEx) that tests for all Lyme specific antibodies, not just the few measured by the standard CDC Western Blot. I lit that thing up like a Christmas tree. The earliest appointment I could get with my PCP is for a few months from now, but he's going to double book and see me in 2 weeks. Seems like there is some (potentially lots) of Doxycycline in my future.
For those of you who haven't been getting the updates, for the last 2+ years I've been having problems where my joints swell painfully, my hart-beat is irregular, I get dizzy, disoriented, occasionally pass out, and my already miserable memory is getting worse. But, at least it has a name now.
But why did I have to get an illness that's so f*cked up politically?!?
