Hi everyone, so I thought I was slowly coming out of my last very bad neurological flare, but today is so incredibly bad again! The pain in my neck and head is so awful, the pins and needles in my feet and hands comes and goes which I can deal with but the head and neck is so bad
. I saw my llmd on Thursday and I was doing a little bit better then, so he really wants me to start Rifampin. I'm just so scared! It's been 3 horrible weeks of head/neck, anxiety and panic, spine pain, pins and needles (especially intense at times in my feet). I also have a area on my thumb that has been there for quite awhile, it's by the nail very red and swollen and sore, it's been super inflamed the last couple days, I have no idea if that is related to Lyme or co. I feel so lost and so depressed! Do you think I should just start the Rifampin and hope that it doesn't bring me down even more, or should I wait? We had plans to go on family trip for my kids Spring break which starts next weekend, I so badly want to feel better so we don't have to cancel! Why is this disease so cruel!
