I am having numbness in my rt hand, that mocks carpal tunnel(which I was tested for and it was neg), so I then had an MRI of my brain that has shown nodules in my frontal lobe. I go to a neurologist next week to find out what it is all about. I am trying to get pregnant and went off my birth control over a year ago and have not had a menstraul cycle. Have you heard of or experienced anything like this in your syndromes? I was treated back then, but not sure if they got it in time.porters81https://www.blogger.com/profile/16346472269752598286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474416454784720332.post-15255485103281531922011-03-22T20:38:05.696-05:002011-03-22T20:38:05.696-05:00Hi Julie.

I'm contemplating getting my daughter tested, but there's so much conflicting information out there. My ped & LLMD said not to test unless there are symptoms, but nearly everyone else says to just get the test. I'm curious to hear how your appt with the kids LLMD goes and how you decided to test your little one.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16198571188460142494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474416454784720332.post-92153297880658765162011-03-09T11:50:50.556-06:002011-03-09T11:50:50.556-06:00Julie, I know just how you feel!

I really wanted one more child. <br /><br />Things turned out my differently than I expected since the "baby" ended up being Lyme. But I struggle with the feeling that someone is missing and I hate Lyme for taking that away from me. My two children both show signs of Lyme (if only I had known when I was pregnant...). <br /><br />I couldn't live with myself if I passed this on to a child knowingly, so for now, for me, having another child is not happening unless someone can guarantee that I won't pass it on. <br /><br />I agree wholeheartedly with what you said, "My brain is telling me one thing and my heart another."

I so want one more baby. But I don't know where I stand on the issue either. I still have to get my 7 and 4 year old tested. If I can't almost guarentee I wouldn't pass it on, then I probably would not have another one. I guess there is always adoption. It just breaks my heart. I wasn't ready to be done. I just have to remember this is God's plan and not mine. I so know how feel. Keep you chin up. We will get through this some how.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01877642261925581148noreply@blogger.com
