Symptom's of Lyme's Disease Please Help?

I have been real sick since May 30 with upper respitory, sore ribs from coughing and I sleep all the time trouble breathing. The doctor diagnosed me as asmatic bronchitis, but I am trying to tell him that I have never been this sick ever.

I told him that I found a tick, but he says he does not think it is. I have heard some real bad things about Lyme's and if I do have it I do not want to wait to be treated. I have been sick since may 30.

Ticks can carry various kinds of nasty things--not just Lyme. You might indeed have Lyme and/or one or more co-infections. There are dozens of symptoms that can be caused by tick-borne infections, and it's important to sort them out.

Even though I'm sure you feel miserable, it's important to do some research (unless you are lucky enough to have someone to do it for you.) The plain awful fact is that most doctors in America know little about Lyme and other tick-borne infections. So, you've got to find out for yourself, and find someone who can help you.

Good places to start are lymeinfo.net, lymenet.com (where you can post your questions to be seen by others who have been through similar stuff), lymediseaseassociaton.org and ilads.org.

If after doing some research you still think you may have Lyme, you need to find an ILADS-affiliated doctor to help you. You can post on lymenet under the "seeking a doctor" category, to find the closest one to you. Good luck to you.
