100+ Symptoms

Most my friends and family think I have only been suffering from injury pain, but this is what I have really been going through. That's why I rarely leave my house, and if I do, I put on a happy face. I am a very positive person, but it's too hard to hide everything from everyone so I just stay in my room. I also don't want anyone to feel bad for me, and I really don't want to bum anyone out. 

Anyway, I wanted to list EVERYTHING in hopes that someone suspecting Lyme disease will find this and get properly diagnosed and treated. I would have never, EVER known what was wrong with me without other people listing their symptoms on blogs and forums across the internet. Some days are worse than others, as Lyme symptoms come and go, change, overlap, etc. Lyme mimics hundreds of other conditions because it can hurt the body where ever it wants and however it wants. Only a couple of these symptoms can be attributed to my injury, but they could occur even without an injury. And yes, there have been times when I have felt every single one of these symptoms at the same time. Luckily that's rare and I'll only experience about 50 at a time. All of them wax and wane (come and go), which is such a classic symptom of Lyme Disease. I've literally had moments where I felt 60% healthy and moments where I felt 10% healthy. Usually I will see others in person like neighbors or go to church when I'm having an ok moment, but those moments never last. People would say, "You look like you're doing better!" and I try to just always say, "I'm ok". That's the safest word to use with all the horrible ups and downs that come and go at any moment. One day I was doing so well that I was able to take family pictures with my husband and son, and I looked like a totally healthy person. Nobody would have ever known I was chronically ill and injured.
