I used to follow your blog and fell awa...Dear OMS,<br /><br />I used to follow your blog and fell away about 8 months ago. I was fighting anxiety, depression, and irritability for about 5+ years. I was misdiagnosed with depression/anxiety/ptsd/etc. and tried a number of SSRIs but none of them really worked for me. Some made me far worse. Earlier this year, I finally got a diagnosis of Chronic Lyme disease. It fit all of my emotional symptoms plus the exhaustion, lethargy, problems with sleep, loss of ability to multi-task, and multiple other symptoms. I am now in the process of fighting the real cause of my symptoms and it has made a big difference.<br /><br />If you are not getting relief from your meds, you might want to consider looking into Lyme disease. I found out the hard way about Lyme and what it does as it continues to disseminate in the body. Unfortunately Lyme has become highly politicized and I cannot stress enough that you will need to see an ILADS trained doctor. There are few doctors who recognize the myriad of symptoms and are trained to treat Chronic Lyme. A large number of Lyme patients have been sick for many years prior to their finally being correctly diagnosed. The most common misdiagnosis is depression/anxiety/etc.<br /><br />If you think looking into this would be a good idea for you, I recommend a good doctor trained by ILADS: http://www.ilads.org Here is a listing of state Lyme Disease Support groups who should be able to recommend a good doctor in you area: http://www.lymeinfo.net/support.html Another good website is: http://www.lymenet.org You are also welcome to contact me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
