Then we tried fertility treatments, and that involves lots
of blood draws and injections, and
of course insemination, which began a
fear of HIV and pregnancy by someone other than my husband. I like to blame it on the Lyme doing something to my brain. I had always had somewhat of an issue with anxiety, but nothing like what the OCD was. I finally sought cognitive behavioral therapy and reluctantly started medication. I have seen big improvements since when I first had OCD.
