Avatar n tn I began treatment for Lyme Disease in September after feeling terrible and having many of the symptoms and many bands on the western blot. I was put on Augmentin 1500mgs a day. I had an MRI that showed a white matter lesion.A spect scan was done at Columbia hospital, I am confused by the results- Moderately severe, global,cortical hypoperfusion with heterogeneity. This perfusion is consistent with encephalitis or vasculitis, such as from infections eg.

Avatar f tn I am new to this and haven't written about anything.I have been treated for fibromyalgia for over a year now. The dr. never really stated I have fibro. I'm being treated for high cholesterol and trigylcerides. I'm taking welchol powder once a day and trilipex for this. I'm taking lyrica 150mg. bid and mirapex at bedtime. I went to get a lab slip yesterday for blood work and was informed i needed to be fasting for my cholesterol and trigy. levels.
929287 tn?1244319023 Wow, it sounds like you have a lot to deal with. From the mayo clinic website: "Connie Luedtke, R.N." "If one of your parents or siblings has fibromyalgia, your risk of also developing the disorder increases dramatically." I have two siblings myself who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and it definitely can cause a lot of pain. Have you looked up restless leg syndrome? Have you had your catecholamines and plasma free metanephrines checked?
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is a diagnosis of exclusion. This means it is diagnosed when all other conditions have been ruled out. It is not a disease. It is a group of symptoms. Lab work is usually normal in fibromyalgia. There is no true, measurable inflammation even though it feels like things are inflammed. A good and informative link it fibromyalgia-symptoms. org. I'm not a doctor but considering your elevated sed rate I would seek another opinion if it were me.
Avatar m tn But i experienced similar symptoms brfore starting v the treatment for hbv. 2 months after entecavir 0.5mg and vitamin d3 supplement (10000iu per day) i started feeling much better. However if you are on antiviral and you vitamin D levels are normal, then better to check with the doctor. These symptoms csn be caused by stress, anxiety, bad diet, less intake of water....
4205163 tn?1354290060 Sorry to hear you are suffering! I would add all symptoms and occurrences rather than edit them down to what seems most Lyme-like. A good doc will know how to see patterns in the data and exclude the outliers. I'm not medicallyl trained, but if I were diagnosed with MS, I would consult an LLMD for a second opinion, since nonLLMDs are not likely to consider Lyme in a differential diagnosis.
Avatar f tn my once beautiful thick hair falls out in clumps ..rheumatologist didmised my symptoms feel like i was talking to a wall.told me i have fibromyalgia and i should see a therapist and learn to deal with is .i'm ready to pull my hair out my self am getting depressed and went for a second pinion this guy didn't even talk to me looked at my file and said he agrees with the original diagnosis .i just feel like they are missing some thing .
Avatar n tn I've had an equivocal test for Lyme and have so many symptoms. My PCP refered me to the Univ.of Michigan Rheumatology Clinic. I told doctors there about my Lyme test and got a lot of responses such as: "There's no Lyne in Michigan" and "You tested negative for Lyme, so you don't have it." When I presented factual arguments to these responses, I was redirected and seemingly brushed off.
Avatar f tn I had lyme disease that the doctor thought was later stage lyme, Had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, probably after the first lyme was ignored, and now years later I had microscopic colittis. I have severe degenerative arthritis that is destroying my spine. I think everything goes back to lyme disease. I only had the 28 day antibiotic treatment. Please help me if you have any ideas.
Avatar n tn Ditto what fibromed said. The blood tests just rule in or out other causes for your symptoms like autoimmune disorders etc..
Avatar n tn For the past 5 years, I have suffered from fibromyalgia, this being a diagnosis made after I was originally diagnosed with bi-lateral thoracic syndrome. It took 5 mos to diagnos the bi-lateral tos, however, pulse studies verifided that when I raised my arm, my median nerve pulse diminished. I had the right side decompressed in July of 2004, which was the most invasive surgeries, and from what I understand, one of the most difficult surgeries to recover from.
209591 tn?1267414714 For the last year I have been exhibiting many different symptoms that seem to have baffled my doctors. They all know something is wrong, but cannot pinpoint or rule out anything. 11 months ago, shortly after the symptoms started, my PCP performed this one exam, in which he stuck my entire body from head to toe. He used one of his wooden cotton swab broke in half. This of course left one side jagged and sharp and the other soft and cushiony.
Avatar f tn Very discouraged perhaps someone can shed some light. My first visit w/ LLMD after testing positive w/ Western Blot. Positive IgG & M 23, IgG & M 41 and IgG18. I have suffered Lyme symptoms for at least 5+years and they've gotten worse. Recently told that I may have fibromyalgia (not officially diagnosed) before the Lyme test. Dr. said "if" I had Lyme it was early stage. He said the Lyme tests are highly inaccurate.
Avatar f tn Both fibromyalgia and CFS patients have the same symptoms as many autoimmune conditions. Dizziness, I know, can go along with MS, Hashimoto's and fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn When I started treatment they warned me of the side effects, flu like symptoms, depression, headaches and all that good stuff, but the treatment wasn't too bad, they started me on an anti-depressant and medication for my headaches. But for the last yr or more I have been having the flu like symptoms, major body aches mostly in my upper torso, back problems and I have had every test imaginable done to figure out why I am in so much pain everyday. Some days are better than others.
1184051 tn?1264435308 /or RA and when I told him my symptoms he said they were all due to fibromyalgia. It really made me mad that he wouldn't take them seriously and didn't even want to treat me for fibro. I'm going to press my family doctor to start a treatment regimen.
