I became very ill in the fall of 1985. Our family had been on vacation in Vermont and Canada hiking and outdoors during the late summer. Also, I lived in Connecticut all my life. I had so many symptoms including fever, knee pain, extreme fatigue, bells palsy, sleep disturbances, heart palpitations, stomach issues, etc. Went to over 20 doctors and never received any diagnosis until 9 yrs later. In the meantime I had to stop working and became very depressed because there were no answers as to my symptoms. Was put on antibiotics through a pic line for 6 weeks. I never got any relief from any if my symptoms. I was 39 yrs old in 1985. My life has never been the same. I have arthritis, sleep disturbances, never feel rested in the morning, fatigue, headaches, heart problems, joint pain, and so on. I was put on antidepressants, anti anxiety meds and pain meds. I would like to have some quality of life. Never really feel good. I hope and pray for some answers. God bless you all.
