@soxfan -do they really have a program like that at Duke for mystery illnesses? Seriously, that would be great! I would try and do that. Why not? There has to be something to this. The whole Lyme thing is one big mystery to me. I have friends that do the abx and get so sick. Like deathly ill, from the Herx, I guess. Then they switch to another abx for the other co-infections. They get sick from all of that, but they have chronic Lyme and now major yeast. I get doing it. I get the abx, but the wear on the body is intense. My one friend was just diagnosed with IC with Lyme after years of having lyme and doing IV abx. It sucks. She thought the diagnosis was better than CFS and I was like....how? Lyme folks rarely get well unless they get it from the beginning.
Anyway, I would pursue it. Even if it is Lyme...there has to be something to settle down that muscle twitching. Like IV lidocaine. Or some sort of nerve conduction in that calve. There are treatments, I know it. I read so much because of my own pain. Mine is all over, but treating the calf can happen. But still....what caused it? DUKE...I would try that.
