I just took my 17 year old son to doctor today, I feel so foolish because I told him it was a heat rash and a pulled muscle. Know it turns out it could be Lyme disease and because of my own ignorance it has been left untreated for almost a month and know he is showing signs of muscle fatigue, back aches and other obvious symptoms according to this website. He was tested for this, but results won’t be back until Monday or Tuesday because of July 4th weekend. i think they should put a rush on it, but to them I am probably just a pain in their side. i am very worried about my son and I feel very guilty for not trusting my instincsts. I didnt want to rack up a huge medical bill when I was having surgery myself July 2nd and would be off work for 2 weeks at least. i thought I was being smart, but in the end I was very dumb and put my son’s life in serious danger!!!!! As a mother, I should have did better by him. I am hoping for the best, but i don’t have a good feeling about the outcome. i am very sorry Kori that I didnt do better by you. I am 90% positive that he has this from all the hours of internet browsing on lyme disease, maybe i shuld tell the doctor to do the same. i wish that i could do more for him, I feel so hopeless and frustrated. Can anybody help us Please. Thanks Kori and Shelly

[...] Diabetes Mine – Another Diagnosis In The Family Up until now it’s been all about me and my #$%@ chronic illness. That wasn’t so bad, for me. Far tougher is the realization that someone you love — someone who’s been the rock of your existence — may not be so invincible after all. [...]

As much as you dont want to hear it. There are rules of nature that are hard to stop. The most important being “survival of the fittest.” Nature wants the smartest and most clever to survive to improve the gene pool. Obviously you and your husband are very smart and savvy and quickly learned how to work the system and not give up. Weaker individuals dont care and dont want to learn how to do that. We can help up to a point. Even with Obamacare, there might be a government official that would help a weaker individual to find out who the best dr is, etc. But it’s very time and labor intensive. I would like to see funds going to establish schools and classes where people learn how to navigate the medical world.

wow, Amy! that is something! so glad you ARE aggressive and getting the correct help. i guess diabetes is the reason we all are so aggressive in researching and asking and writing and demanding and…we have to be!…so, score one for the big D.

Wow, I’m so glad you were so pro-active. When I got to the part about having a huge red spot on his back I cringed. I had similar but it turned out to be an abscess that required emergency surgery and I’d gone septic (infection in the blood stream). It took over 2yrs to recover from that, so I can fully appreciate all the implications.

I hope his recovery is indeed 100% and thank goodness you pushed to see the right doctor!!

My goodness Amy! What a mess! I’m glad that he is doing alright. It sounds very frustrating, all the rigamorole you had to go through.
