I was infected by a tick after going out west for two weeks out in the woods to look at deer and moose. After coming home I got really sick and my Drs thought it was my fibromyalgia but I couldn’t put my feet on the floor because of the pain. It was weeks before I found the tick it was imbedded in the groin area. When my husband got him out with tweezers it felt like someone had poured hot scolding water on my waist down. I took it to my Dr. and he put me on antibiotics. I did get some better but still having problems

My daughter Jennifer worked at the camp at the JCC on Staten Island for a few years while in college. She had been experiencing brain fog, fatigue, body pain, heart erythmia, etc. This past December she was rushed to the E.R. with stroke like symptoms and temporary paralysis. The hospital performed numerous tests. Nothing showed positive. In February she visited an infectious disease doctor. She had blood work done by IGenex Labs. The results were
band # 41(++) and band # 39(I). In addition her C4A level was elevated. Her Doctor believes she may have a new
strain of Lyme for which there is no test for. I would like to speak to someone if possible. Please contact me at 718-668-9228 Thank You- Lillian Cuomo
