In reply to Therapist refused me as lymes and meds?????, posted by Phillipa on March 31, 2008, at 17:18:20
> Well it's happened the Dragon reared it's head and the old history of lymes is back as saw a therapist who doesn't want to see me as have chronic lymes and she knows nothing about the meds and also the thyroid says too complicated. Want me to try and see the one who knows meds and disease entities. And what meds would help these condistions. So sick of one saying docs that is that lymes is gone and now she's says lots of people in my area saw the lymes doc who can practice but no longer use insurance. She feels my illness is physical. I went through this last summer with the pdoc who just gave benzos. Sick of docs and I know you're sick of me. But still any suggestions? I just want to be normal. Love Phillipa
Western blot will test positive forever for lyme's once you had it..it only detects antibodies in the system which will always be there. There's a specialized test to tell if your lyme's is active. You need that one. usually with chronic lyme's there's pain in all the joints plus often fever. pain throughout the body.
You can go to one doc to treat lyme's or thyroid and let them do what they can do. You can still find a p-doc to give you meds for ad and anxiety.
I think you have a neurotic component to your depression that is complicating your treatment. Also going to all those docs is only confusing you more..
