I have had symptoms since October 2013 after becoming pregnant with my son. I thought it might be pregnancy related but he's been born for almost 5 months And the symptoms are still here. I have went to several different doctors with many ER trips included. Like many others I have had test on my heart,CT of abdomen, gallbladder testing, brain MRI and CTs. My Dr did a basic ELISA test which was negative. I have been admitted to the hospital twice for 5 days both times. My symptoms seem to come and go about every 4-6 weeks being the worst. I guess usually the week before my monthly cycle. My Dr is trying to refer me to an Infectious Disease Dr but they are in the process of reviewing all my records before they will even consider seeing me. My main concern is my newborn having it as well since I was never treated while pregnant even though I was and am very symptomatic. Please help me on what to do next? Also where is the best place for the most accurate testing? I remember I had a tick embedded in my leg Sept/Oct of 2011 and had a rash but not being from this area and not being educated about lymes, never questioned it because I didn't get the usual initial symptoms.
