I'm in need of funds for Laboratory Tests

If your body is acheing could it be you are just getting older? I notice the odd pop here and there and aches too. Maybe you could take cod liver oil, glucosamine, and chondroitin.

precious- you might want to try meditation as a way to ease your anxiety and ease your symptoms. There are some really good meditation programs out there and you can get a lot of guided imagery stuff free on itunes.

You might want to try a little herb as well. Several members on this forum believe it can cure just about anything and it will definitely help you with the anxiety.

Have you tried medications or change to your diet? I myself suffer anxiety every once in a while, my friend gives me a Xanax.

Lyme test is cheap here, although not so reliable. If you have had lyme for seven years, good luck. Lyme is rampant here in this county, and i have seen the damage it can do undiagnosed, but Lyme in Romania?

Yes, there is Lyme in Romania, but not the species of bacteria that is usually found in US.

There are like 4 or 5 types of bacteria that ticks carry. In Europe they are different to what foudn in the US.

And I've also lived in Norway, Italia, Bermuda. So God knows all that is possible to have Lyme.

headers, here's why I Stopped believing it's anxiety:

everyone of my joints in my body cracks, pops and hurts at times, I gave severe back pain especially in the cervical area.

Don't forget that anxiety does not destroy the Joints (that's pathetic to believe)

Anxiety doesn't cause such severe headaches either.

And I am very sure that anxiety that not cause loss of balance and the type of fatigue that I have, where believe me I am bed ridden for the past 2 weeks.

And this has happened on and off for 7 years now, apparently my joints got worse than before this year.

@walen

Lyme test are about 300 in the US and Igenex.

I want to take a complete virus table test to explore all the main types of bacterias which is around 500 - $600.

I can assure you that you are not ill. It's ONLY your anxiety that is causing these symptoms, aches and thoughts. If your anxiety dissapears, your symptoms would dissapear as well.

Again, YOU ARE NOT ILL, IN ANY WAY. Anxiety is a habit - and is controlled by a gland in the brain called the amygdala. Your amygdala's benchmark for anxiety has been reset to a higher level of anxiety, and think it's the right way to respond.

You don't need any tests done, because you are not ill. Your doctors can't say anything because they doesn't see anything wrong with you. It's anxiety that causes ALL of these symptoms. NOT A DISEASE.

What I want you to understand really is that no one has ever died or being harmed by anxiety - a series of nerve impulses. Anxiety is the most vital function an organism can have. It's how we survive. You are perpetuating and fueling your anxiety by giving it credit and keeping it conscious all the time.

What I want you to do my dear friend is to start keeping your mind busy at all times. Do activities no matter how you feel - activities that keep your mind fully occupied. Your amygdala will adopt to this and set a normal, lower anxiety benchmark which will remove all of yours symptoms, aches, pains and thoughts you are experiencing. What keeps the anxiety live in you is because you give it the credibility that it don't diverse. Anxiety related habits are almost exclusively found in people with a very creative and strong mind. - Only that kind of mind can produce such dramatic and real symptoms like you experience now.

Understand also that ANXIETY IS NOT DANGEROUS. You are completely healthy. You've just made the anxiety in to a habit.

Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. Feel free to ask questions, I will answer as best as I can and help you bro!

I really hope it the anxiety only, but then why do I have all the symptoms that are so similar to the ones that happen in Lyme.

They're 100% similar, and moreover the are a lot of people in the US and all over Europe that have been told they suffer from anxiety and ended up having Lyme, after years and years of taking anxiety medication.

I too know a lot headers about anxiety, I have been living with it for 7 years already, however sometimes makes me think it's NOT anxiety, the symptoms are way to debilitating at times, and I am started to get worried when several doctors told me it could be Lyme.

To be more exact when I first started feeling ill, 7 years ago it all started with a terrible headache, excruciating back pain, dizziness, loss of balance, pain at the back of the head, nausea, panic attacks .... very similar to Lyme. Plus the fact that I have a severe memory problem and brain fog, difficulty learning, understanding what people are saying to me even though I hear them... which again is very likely in Lyme.

To top it all, when I was about 9, I had two ticks stuck in left side of the neck, and my aunt has pulled them out, so it's mostl ikely that the virus has been dormant till age 19.

I am sick of being told that it's in my head - that's exactly what a doctor that doesn't have experience with Lyme would say and send you to the psychiatrist. In the US there are special doctors for Lyme called LLMD Lyme Literate Doctors.

BTW Do you have anxiety?

hey guys I haven't been on the forums for a while now because I've been feeling terrible again and hopefully I will slowly find the cause of my health condition. I have already wasted all the money I had on doctors in the past weeks and still can't get a clear diagnose and I'm feeling terrible daily. My anxiety that most of might have heard me talking about is caused by an underlying illness for sure.

The doctors and other professional opinions that I got told me that it's SM or more likely Lyme Disease (or at least a virus/bacteria causing this)

I'm not sure if I am allowed to post this here but I hope the moderators will either delete the thread or move it to an appropriate section of the forum.


I didn't get the laboratory tests either because I cannot afford them. Both seeing a professional doctor and getting the tests done will cost me up to $1000 that are not covered by the basic health insurance.


I am really desperate because no one can help me or understand me, and if doctor can't do anything then I have a single choice to start doing my own research and do the laboratory tests on my own.


I am in real pain (headaches, fatigue, back pain, muscle spasms, stiff neck and head, face numbness, nausea, loss of balance, joints cracking and pain) and I urgently need to have the lab tests done which will be done in another city, the capital of Romania so that will cost me an additional sum.


I also have severe anxiety lately, God only knows what I am going through.


I am not begging I am only asking for help and I would have surely helped another person that is in REAL need if I had the money. Momentarily I am completely broke and can't even afford a doctor appointment and no one else can help me.


I have created a special page on http://www.gofundme.com/LymeDiseaseLaboratoryTest where I can receive donations.


Please help me :-(


I really need to know what is going on with me. :-(


I got so much help from this wonderful community and I believe that if you can't make a small donation, every little bit counts to me right now at least share my donation page with your family and friends and I hope I can raise the money that are necessary for the blood tests.


I am in real pain for 2 weeks, bed ridden mostly. I feel lost and also ended up in the ER last week, they told me nothing so I had to see other doctors. Finally my only choice is to go another route and take more lab tests.
