Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Penny: This is a very informational post and the closest I've seen that supports what we suspect her symptoms represent. The Drs. in Texas don't even want to test for Lymes, let alone diagnose it. Apparently it's a disease that's controlled, needs to be reported and with comes it's own can of worms. She and I have been pretty much just reading and trying to figure out on our own what the Drs. won't tell us. She thought at one point that she was going to have to fly out to Ca. in order to get a test, but finally found a TXS Dr. that would do it...that said, he wouldn't diagnose it as such and it was a negative anyway. She was on a trail of antibiotics when she had her tonsils out. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for sharing your experience with this. I've printed your post and given it to her to read. Thank you again!
