I actually did a blood test to check my B12 levels and for lyme disease, and when I called the ER later that night they said my B12 was within normal limits, but that the lyme disease results wouldn't be in until the next day. This was a few days ago, so in the morning I'm going to call back to get my results on that but I really doubt I have lyme disease since it's winter and I don't live in a very woodsy area.

And now that you mention it, I started having worse chest pressure after taking the meloxicam. Chest pressure was one of my original symptoms to begin with, but after taking the meloxicam for the past 2 days, the chest pressure won't go away. Usually it would only last for a few minutes but I've been having it all day. I'm going to mention this to my doctor.

It's hard to describe how my neck feels. To me, if I feel my neck, the right side feels a little more firm than the left, and that's also the side where I feel like there's something in my throat when I sometimes swallow (that globus sensation.) I guess sciatica is a possibility because my mom experiences it, but she is also almost 50 so it makes sense that she might have that kind of pain, but I'm so young and have been healthy my whole life. The only thing that I can think of that wasn't healthy about me is that I've struggled to lose weight my whole life, but otherwise, I've been fine.

I definitely might check out a rhuematologist. I still have yet to even schedule the MRI and EEG that my neuro wants me to do. The waiting game is what's killing me. At the end of the day, I'll deal with whatever I have, I just need to KNOW what it is.
