[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 281425, member: 1550"] Thanks again, guys. Actually, Wisconsin has it's share of Lyme's disease, especially in my neck of the woods where there are a lot of deer ticks. I have no idea if it's MS or Lymes...I just know it's one of them. I don't have the other mimickers--CFS and Fibromyalgia because I am not fatigued all the time and have no pain. Weird sensations, yes. Pain--headaches often in the morning, but nothing in all of my joints. Weird visual symptoms and heaviness in my left eyes, yeah, but more discomfort than pain. I lean toward thinking it's MS because I had a few acute episodes and they left ongoing problems, but it did get better. But we shall see if I can even get diagnosed. My cognitive issues are very much in line with people who have MS. When I first went for help, I was a scared 21 year old kid who was dizzy and sick and had panic disorder so they wrote me off as just "all in your head." That won't happen this time. I'm far more self-assured and calm and able to express myself and I am not about to accept "it's all in your head" because I know it isn't. Really, is it any wonder our kids have so much trouble get diagnosed?????? :knockedout: [/QUOTE]
