First appt. with LLMD tomorrow - suggestions?

Hi

Feeling alittle anxious about my first appt. with the LLMD tomorrow because at the moment I'm feeling pretty good which makes me ask the question .... Can you have Lyme disease and not feel sick all the time?
I'm in the process of making a time line of my symptoms and a list of meds and supplements. Does anyone have any suggestions or questions that I can take to my appt. ....... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Cozy -

Glad you found us. I totally agree with Girlie - you can certainly have lyme & coinfections and have good days and bad. You can be newly infected and have oscillating symptoms that last for days and then let up. Or, you can have chronic lyme (I was likely infected 18+ yrs ago) and have much longer periods - I actually had a great year back in '09. I had crashed badly in '06 and slowly recovered, peaked in '09 then crashed again... that was before I even knew I had lyme.

I hope you have a good appt. We often suggest patients prepare well beforehand so that you can get the most out of the discussion. The best way to do this (and a lot of LLMDs require it) is to do exactly what you're doing - document your history. But there are several tools available to help you do that. I think there is a link to Burrascano's symptom list in the "new to lyme?" thread Girlie mentioned. If not let me know. My LLMD also developed what I think is an even better tool to help you document your history and current symptom history. Email me if you'd like me to share it with you.

Good luck with your appt - please let us know how it goes and if you have any other questions.
