Well, I would just LOVE to punch some doctors in the face.
To my first doctor who told me, "You're just a lazy teenager and you need to take care of yourself better. There's nothing wrong with you other than that."
To the neurologist who told me, "There's no way you have Lyme Disease. These two lesions are completely normal and most people get one every decade. We don't even have Lyme Disease in this area. Have you thought about it being migraines? [No DUH]. You have a lot of the same symptoms. I believe you just have migraines."
I TOLD YOU SO.
It's so weird to be happy about something like this, but to finally have an answer is a blessing from God! We've known all along that there has been something there, and we've tried everything but just never found an answer. We thought it was Occipital Neuralgia, and I was treated for it for a long time. We tested for Lyme back in April when I had my spinal tap but it came back negative. When you test for Lyme, it takes a couple tests before it can come back positive. It will come back positive if you test over 1.1, and I was 2.2. Thankfully this disease is something that is curable and treatable. I'll begin treatment hopefully tomorrow and it'll be a 14-28 day infusion treatment and I'll have to have a pick-line put in (which is not what I'm too excited about but hey it's okay if it makes me feel better!).
The lesson: God will keep you strong to the end. We have almost reached the end, and I am just so thankful for answers. I'm just still in disbelief that this is what has caused my suffering this whole year. After so many horrible doctors visits, misdiagnoses, hospital stays, ER visits, shots, MRIs, a spinal tap, CT Scan, and times at home, I thought we would never figure it out!
I'm just so happy for answers.. PRAISE GOD :)
Oh, to explain the title, it's what my granddad told my mom whenever she told him that I had Lyme Disease. Haha!
