Lyme??

[Anxious lu]

Is anybody able to tell me about Lyme disease without petrifying me.. Trying not to google .. Not aware of being bitten by a tick by think it's possible I have it?

[Annie0904]

What makes you think you have it? What are your symptoms?

[Anxious lu]

Anxiety, numbness, light sensitivity, aching muscles sometimes joints, clicks hip joint some days, pain in arms hands legs, twitches over body.

I think that's it at the moment.. These come and go but all flare up at the same time.. :-S

A tuck would have attached itself to you and you would have noticed it. X

[Anxious lu]

I'm fed up this can't all be anxiety! :-( thank for the replies

[Laura123]

Have you spoken to your doctor? X

[Anxious lu]

Not asked about Lyme as I've only discovered it. Ha an MRI about two months ago so if it was anything worse I thought I would know by now.. Although it still plagues me that they haven't told me something yet...

[nomorepanic]

You would have to be somewhere that had a lot of ticks and you would know you had been bitten.

Are you googling and trying to find a reason other than anxiety for your problems by any chance?

[Anxious lu]

I managed to stop googling things. But I'll be honest I am googling trying to find what else it could be other than ms because I have convinced myself I hae something like that..

You know when you think your so ill you want to be ill but less ill?

[Laura123]

The problem with googling is that you are always going to end up with worst case scenario. Your doctor is the only person who should be diagnosing you x

[Anxious lu]

No I know this I never google anymore I can't it makes me I'll.. I already presume the worst case senator in my head Lyme isn't bad compared to what I believe I have..

Do you guys honestly believe if I had ms or something of that kind it would show on my MRI over a month ago and I would know already?

[Laura123]

Yes it would have shown on your MRI. You need to find a way to trust in what you are being told, you have had all the tests and you will make yourself ill obsessing like this. X

It doesn't get more thorough than MRI so take some relief from that and move on. Anxiety can make you feel so ill, I know it's hard to believe but it's absolutely true! X

[Anxious lu]

Aw thanks hun.. I only get concerned because the MRI wasnt for ms but they see everything on there don't they..

You guys have chilled me out .. for now :-) I wish I had continued with councilling it's hard to believe it will work
