I started having problems with my knees back in 1996, both of them swelling up. In 2003 I went to see a doctor and have my knee drained. They would swell up about once a year. I was diagnosed with Lyme then, I have spent over $75,000.00 since then, I suffer from Lyme Disease symptoms still and have been trying to see an LLMD or a infectious disease doctor for over 8 years now, I have been given all kinds of excuse's from I live too far away or I was once told to bring $600.00 cash per visit and the doctor would see me. I have never been tested for co-infections and between the pain and chronic sleep disorder and nerve twitching, and so on and on and on, this is the worst thing I have ever been through and I think probably the worst thing is the not knowing and the lack of help just makes this disease so very hard to tolerate. Of course the fact that you can't live on SSD and the snap program and the fact that you can't get out of bed and are ready to lose your house and be homeless doesn't help at the same time, they say Lyme doesn't kill, are they including the suicide rate from this disease?
