Do I have Lyme disease ?

Hello everyone so I have been living a nightmare for the past 2 years. I don’t know much about Lyme disease but I know a little. I’m from Michigan & I am 21 years old! I have a bunch of blood work and I’ll list them below and I have had a western blot also

My nightmare begins when I moved into a new apartment. First night at the apartment I felt great! But then I woke up & I haven’t felt like a normal person since.

As I woke up I just felt drunkishh & still really sleepy. It feels like only half of my brain is working. It almost feels like I’m about to pass out but I never do. I have delt with this symptom for 2 years. It makes it impossible to live a normal life!

I then went straight to the doctor of course but never found a answer.

2 years later & I have more and more problems.

1 fatigue. My fatigue is awful!! I have no energy and it takes nothing to wear me out now. The littlest things takes so much extra effor for me now. When I do a little too much it’s like my body tries shutting down! I drop things and my balance is off and that feeling of passing out gets worse. It’s like my body telling me to stop or it’s gonnabmake me stop.

2. Brain fog/drunk feeling. I don’t know if you feel drunk when you have brain fog so I don’t know if I have 2 separate things going on their or if it’s just brain fog

3. Unrefreshing sleep & insomnia

4. Cognitive decline. This goes from concentration issues, to word loss & memory

5. Depression and anxiety. Especially social anxiety! I get these times where I just feel like there’s no way out of this. I feel so hopeless and I cry a bunch.

6. Frequent ruination.

7. Sweat more then usual when doing little excercise.

8. I get these random pains that come quickly. It’ll feel like a bee sting or something.

9. Muscle twitching

As you see I don’t really have the typical Lyme symptoms. I have 0 joint pain.

As far as lab work I’ve had a bunch!! The things that have came abnormal are
Low testosterone
Low fsh hormone
Bloodbin urine
High uric acid
High c4a (5400)
Low cd57 ( 11)
Low vegf
High Dhea sulfate
Low msh (20) the ref range it’s technically okay but I’ve read otherwise.

My western blot was negative with only band 23 igg positive.

Also whenever I moved out of the apartment I noticed nothing. Nothing got better at all so I didn’t figure it was a mold problem. But.. they did knock down those apartments right after I moved out of them so it makes me wonder why.

I can’t live like this much longer. I can’t stand another day of this. Please help me out. Thank you all so much!!

Have you consulted a legitimate holistic, integrative, or lyme literate medical doctor?

This is a great place to start, especially if you are feeling hopeless. There's only so much a family doctor can do.

You may have been exposed to mold in the apartment where your symptoms began, which suppressed your immune system and then dormant infections became active.

An LLMD/functional medicine Dr. could prepare a mold detox treatment plan for you if he or she suspected this was the root cause and perhaps reduce the bacterial presence in your urinary tract.

Also, I would not eat sugar, simple carbohydrates, dairy, or reactive foods at the moment. A good diet is a good way to reduce inflammation and urinary irritation.

I had lots of yeast and bacteria in my urinary tract. Whenever I ate carbohydrates, urinary irritation/pain would double.



But, please, see a functional medicine doctor and don't give up!

just an FYI - the OP hasn't been back on the forum since the first post in August.

So sorry for everyone’s pain
Xpeetzsx Is so great to hear you’re feeling better! Can you share your treatment plan please?

I had the worst anxiety after lyme! I couldn't handle it at all either! I avoided everyone since then && most family wonders where I am and it's hard to answer with so much anxiety that lyme causes because brain decline and the social anxiety .


it's insane but it gets better - I got better with a nutritional balancing program and taking anti parasitals by body force - its a matter of keep going && yea - the anxiety gets better - I still have it but it gets better at least

I had so many experiences so horrible with the anxiety my brain was like complete shut off and anxiety - feel bad for you as I felt the worst of this anxiety - i'd like to have some friends with lyme in real life - people who know what its like

its pretty much the best people who can relate to in life I bet - the panick attacks are something I got after but I know that's its just parasites so I can just keep battling them away - also supplements helped me
