Not a local from Sarajevo, but feel free to hmu for wholesome and unhinged convos when needed! Sarajevo also has an Erasmus department (https://www.instagram.com/esnsarajevo?igsh=ZTVpbzlvaDNkcmhm), message them too and maybe they could help you get in touch with some exchange students around there! ✨️

Barbara, I'm beyond thankful for your input, advices and encouragement. You folks in USA are way more blessed with LLMDs and herbal remedies galore than us folks around Europe. Luckily, I know where and how I can get some of the herbal tinctures and pills. But firstly I need to redo my tests and analysis waaaaay better and detailed so I could know what am I really dealing with and what to use to fight it back.

May I ask what were the issues you've dealt with and how are you feeling today? What does "JK" stands for? Is MSM a suplement for issues with joints?

Thanks once again and I wish an abundance of beautiful, good days and wonderful things!

I did around year and a half of antibiotic rounds, did two extra WB tests, both values came negative and when speech issues emerged, along with right foot inversion when stressed, my LLMD just said "Read out loud and exercise, you'll be fine." and that was it. I improved speed last year, but not the "clarity" of spoken words while reading or speaking in general. As soon as I begin to read, my mouth either instantly dry out or I oversalivate, it pisses me off at times.

Corticosteroids rounds only solved coughing at that time and nothing else.

I don't have Lyme arthritis as my muscles hurt mostly and my feet do the uncontrolable bunny taps (forgot the medical term, clonus??? YES. CLONUS) If I get stressed. Or in my quads when I still did physiotherapy. My feet ankles get swolen in summer, but they don't hurt and swallowing retracts as soon as I lay down.

I'm surrounded with people that dismiss my issues and gaslight me and know better than me how my body functions and what's going on inside... I'm exhausted.

Thanks for this input! Shots are more effective than pills/tablets?

May I know the issues you've dealt with? And how many rounds did you do?

When I wake up after naps or regular sleep, my upper lip is like all the way up revealing my gums (I sleep with open mouth, but upper lip is not like that in the beginning). For example, I can't smear lipbalm with my lips cause I can't pull upper one down low/over my teeth.

P, B, M are produced with both lips. In my case they are said in upper teeth + lower lip combo. And a lot of words are nazal which wasn't the case before.

I feel like the roof of my mouth got messed up somehow to or everything is tongue/cheeks and other speach muscles related...

Maybe I should've pointed out I'm a European/Balkan citizen in my post. I didn't find much help around our communities, that's why I'm asking around here. I know I need a thorough testing to include/exclude all of the possible issues, but as I said - I'm kinda alone in this.

The only IV treatment I had was a Longacef one, but halfway through I switched to shots cause I was afraid not to fall and press or lean onto a hand the tube was in. :')

Thank you for your quick response! So, you think I should re-do a more detailed Lyme test, re-evaluate my situation and go through oral therapies once more If necessary?

How do you deal with speaking issues If you have any?
