So on the second oft his month I was found to have REAL Lyme Disease, diagnosed by a neurologist and resulted at the Mayo Clinic. This came after six months of "all over the map" symptoms.
This came a couple days after seeing said Neurologist and getting an EMG, my second, done the day after.The EMG was said to be normal, though they noticed some twitching in my foot.
I have since been walking two miles about every day. My left foot has loosened up some but my muscles still twitch all over. Even my biceps, and SCM muscles twitch, and it's bad in my back after my walks.
I'm afraid that this is early ALS. I was on the Do I Have ALS? forum, and they made me leave after finding out I had Lyme, even though I came back saying I was still worried.
It feels like my body is falling apart. I can feel numbness about anywhere, but especially in my left foot or hand, which is the side the EMG done 3-4 weeks ago was on.
I want to believe it's only Lyme, but I'm terrified of dying from ALS. I think of how devastating it would be for my family and I after thinking I was turning the corner with the Lyme diagnosis.
Infectious Disease recommended I stay on Doxy for an extra couple weeks, for around six weeks of that total. They said if I'm not feeling a lot better, they will give me self-administered IV treatment with Ceftriaxone.
I just don't want to die!:weep:
