LYME disease is THE WORST I've ever felt, physically. And I've had life-threatening pneumonia where I had to stay in the hospital for a week. I've had bubbles of crispy skin from 3rd degree sunburns when kayaking without proper hats and sunscreen. I've been bitten by snakes.
I basically had arthritis where moving any of the joints of the body caused intense pain. Even the joints of the fingers to pick up a spoon or something.
I felt freezing cold sometimes and burning hot other times and would sweat through my clothes.
I felt as weak as a kitten, unable to even stand upright sometimes. I couldn't open doors sometimes. I was tired all the time - some of you might have depression (it's 4chan after all) but this is EVEN WORSE than depression lethargy where you can't move from bed. It's WORSE than even that, yeah.
At first my Dad wouldn't believe I was really sick so he wouldn't bring me to the ER. (I'm disabled without a driver's license.) Eventually after a few weeks of being bedridden we went in and the doctor said it was the "most textbook case of Lyme Disease he had ever seen".
A month of antibiotics got me back on my feet but I still have intense pain in my left foot I suspect was caused by lingering damage from the Lyme (my podiatrist has used X-Rays and MRIs and injections of joint drugs to no good effect to see what is happening).
I wouldn't wish Lyme Disease on my worst enemy.
Pic is my leg with the tell-tale "red ring" of lyme disease.
