I was just diagnosed. I remember my first symptom - miserable joint pain in my fingers- as early as nine years old. Doctors said I was making it up. as an adult, they acted like I was crazy. recently a very good doctor thought it might be autoimmune but tested me for Lyme as I mentioned the joint pain. my questions are: if you were pregnant with your child while you had untreated Lyme disease, did your child get it also? There are mixed reports online. secondly, how do you maintain It? I am being treated with a heavy course of antibiotics, and I feel terrible. i am dxhaudted ans my body aches twrribly. Last - did any of you experience fertility issues, or difficult pregnancies? I feel alone and overwhelmed.
