Here they are. These are all current:
1. Pain all over the body all the time. There is not one part of my body that does not hurt.
2. Face has indentations all over it.
3. Hair loss
4. Inability to lose weight after the first week of dieting.
5. Feet often cold
6. Exhausted with brain fog all the time / memory issues.
7. Back in various spots and sometimes neck go into spasms or go out daily.
8. Ribs front and back hurt, or perhaps the tissue between them does. They feel tight and sometimes swollen.
9. Scar easily and the darkness of the scar sometimes never goes away.
10. Infertility. Have been trying to get pregnant for 4 years with no luck. I am not sure, but I think I may have miscarried once. Also, my periods have been getting lighter and shorter, so I am worried I could be perimenopausal.
11. Frequent burping and sometimes passing gas. Stomach makes strange noises all the time. GERD. I have been taking Betaine HCL in various forms for a while and it has not helped. Possible Leaky Gut syndrome.
12. Intercourse is often uncomfortable. I have frequent yeast infections and/or bacterial vaginosis. Clear discharge always present as well.
13. Systemic Candida. I have been off and on candida diets nearly half of my life and it makes like almost not worth living. Living on such a restricted diet for so many years can make a person crazy. I actually feel no improvement whatsoever on these diets and if anything, I feel worse, because I become very depressed on them.
14. Have to clear my throat frequently. Always feels like I have something in it, be it acid or mucous. Mornings are the worst and immediately after eating, however, it also happens throughout the day. The throat clearing drives my husband crazy. I also have been coughing a lot.
15. Bad snoring - also drives my husband crazy.
16. Chest pain for no apparent reason. I even went to the ER one day to have it checked out. They could not find anything wrong with my heart.
17. High pitched tone in both ears for years. It's not like a traditional tinnitus, as it doesn't have a rhythmic ringing, just a constant high pitch.
18. Pelvic muscles often hurt and/or give out when standing or walking, causing me to sumble or have trouble walking. I'm talking the area where the inside of the top of the thigh connects to the"V" shaped area of a woman's mound.
19. Occasional dizziness and/or lightheadness.
20. TMJ
21. Problems sleeping. I wake frequently throughout the night, usually because I have to switch to a different sleeping position, due to pain.
22. Becoming more sensitive to odors like perfume, room deodorizers, cleaning products, etc.
23. Every once in a while my arms or legs will jerk noticably by themselves, like someone would react when touching a hot surface.
24. Vision getting worse. Up until the last few years, I had perfect vision. Now it seems to be getting more blurry and I also have floaters.
25. Starting to have mild incontinence when sneezing, coughing or laughing.
26. Mild anxiety and/or depression. This is sporadic and is due only to having been sick for so long.
27. Voice has becoming much lower and coarser sounding, and my throat starts hurting easily after talking for a short amount of time, often causing me to start coughing.
28. Right heel pain that was diagnosed as probable Plantar Fascitis. Orthotics not only didn't help, but made the pain worse. Pain used to be constant, now is more sporadic.
29. Painful to walk. I waddle more than walk really. And if I need to be on my feet for more than 15 minutes or so, I really pay the price.
30. Right now I am having horrible seasonal allergies. I am told there is a bad mold and pollen problem in the area. I do not have seasonal allergies back in CA.
31. Since all this started, I have a slightly higher than normal heart rate as well. In the beginning I wore a heart monitor for a few days and did a stress treadmill, EKG, etc. Other than the slightly faster heart rate, they could not find a cause or concern for it. I sometimes get palpitations or it feels like my heart has extra beats, but again, they cannot find a cause for it.
32. My head often feels like it's got pressure in it upon standing or bending over. This is a common lyme complaint.
33. Horrible shooting, stabbing pains in every part of my body. It just moves around to different places everyday.
