everyone - in april 02, my husband was told he has ALS. During the months before he was told this I started having horrible panic attacks and very, very forgetful. well he was misdiagonsed with Lyme Disease, and I have it too - from him. Panic attacks are a very common symptom of lyme, as well as depression, and skipped heartbeats. Point being, lyme is the 2nd fastest spreading disease, 2nd only to AIDS. We live in Ohio and Dr's here don't think Ohio is a lyme state. A tick can bite you and fall off, not even burrough for you to get the disease. you can pass it through sex, birth, blood, sweat,and breast milk. testing is very tricky and sometimes gives false negatives. please research this out for yourselves and compare your symptoms. I never would have thought that we had lyme. only 40% of the people get the bulls eye rash. look for pictures of it , if you have had a strange rash. mine wasn't perfectly round, looked like ring worm with a hive in the center- check it out.lyme panic is worst than regular panic due to the disease. ever noticed you feel better after being on antibotics. only trying to help some of you out with this information. please become informed. If you give blood and have it - you pass it on,per the CDC.
