Today on Lyme Voice I am joined by Scott Forsgren.  In 1997 Scott was in his twenties and became violently ill.  It was the scariest thing he had ever experienced.  Overnight, his body was ravaged by an unknown illness.  He had difficulty walking, balance problems, blurred vision, low-grade fevers, rapid heart rate, burning sensations in his arms and legs, severe joint pain, nausea, digestive disturbances (we'll leave it at that), brain fog, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, skin-hypersensitivity, motor-like tapping sensations in my hands and feet, and never-ending fatigue. 

Doctors and health-care professionals were baffled.  They suggested that he had Epstein-Barr virus, Mononucleosis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, severe allergies, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and of course, even that it was all "in my head".  He cannot count the number of times he was referred to a psychiatrist.  Though he will readily admit to the reality that he probably did not need one, as it had nothing to do with his physical health.  

After 27 doctors and nine months of feeling as though he had the flu everyday, he was diagnosed with multiple parasitic infections including Blastocystis Hominis, Giardia Lamblia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba Hystolytica, and others.  He was also diagnosed with severe Candida resulting from antibiotic overuse from several previous doctors.   Additionally, he had Leaky Gut Syndrome and severe food allergies.  

He tried so many different things to get well.  He received mega-doses of vitamins through IV, administered coffee enemas.  He was "smudged" by mystic healers.  Gave up wheat and fruit products for years.  He gave himself regular injections of vitamins to help with the malabsorption resulting from the infections.  He even went to one doctor that claimed that he was ill due to a virus found in Crystal Geyser bottled water (which of course never existed).  He took EPD (Enzyme-Potentiated Desensitization) shots every two months to help desensitize and heal his immune system.  The EPD treatments required three days of staying at home eating nothing but potatoes and water. 

I share all of this because this is not unique to a lyme disease patient.  It takes many doctor and multiple "guesses" to get the actual diagnosis.
