Finally have a full diagnosis!

After 17 months of not knowing what was wrong with me I finally have a lot more answers. So here is all of it:

Hypothyroidism
Migraines
Tension headaches/neck nerve muscle issues
Occipital neuralgia, another type of headache
Low iron
And finally the big one, Lyme disease!

I've been on pills for the hypothyroidism for over a year now and my numbers are getting slowly better.

Nerves have been burned off once in neck to help with all three types of headache, going to see about getting that procedure done again as it seems the nerves have grown back.

Being put on iron pills to hopefully up my iron levels.

Will be going on three types of antibiotics for at least eight weeks to try and treat the Lyme disease. I will have this for the rest of my life. But if I am lucky I will be able to manage it through medication.

I'm just thankful I finally have a doctor who did the tests to figure it all out!
