Being tested for lymes disease💔🙏🏼

I'm so scared. After learning lymes can cause anxiety and other weird problems like night sweats being extremely tired and vision problems heart problems tingling numbness and muscle pain. I went to the doctor.... it's a lot else I need to tested for plus ms. Scary thing is. You can have both of these in the test still show nothing's wrong. 💔

Gamerfitmum, you haven't even had the tests yet and already you're saying you don't trust the results and that you still believe you have MS and Lymes. All the symptoms you describe are identical with anxiety so why not address the problem you do have (anxiety disorder) instead of spending your time worrying about problems you don't have (MS and Lymes) because I must tell you: you can never recover from an illness you don't have. But you can recover from anxiety. Hold that thought.

The test I'm getting come back negative in a lot of people on a lymes support group are saying test can come back negative and you can still have same goes with Ms. I hope it's just anxitey but my gut tells me it's else wise

Then for your reassurance go back to your doctor for a second opinion but if as a result of that the diagnosis that you don't have Lymes or MS must be accepted or you will end up worrying yourself half to death trying to cure yourself of illnesses you dont have - instead if addressing the illness you do have - anxiety. Your belief that this might be something more than anxiety is because you perhaps don't appreciate just how good anxiety is at mimicing the symptoms of genuine physical illness. I wish you a speedy recovery.
