Lyme in Connective tissue making it lumpy, dimples, pits

Does anyone have connective tissue problems with Lyme? My PT told me I had connective tissue disorder bc I am so weak in scapula muscles and they wing out really bad. I have tons of knots in my tissues on scapula that burn and cause headaches, numbness, tingling. After 1 1/2 years of dying a slow death(pain, swollen knees, weight gain, headaches, numbness, headaches, edema, swollen knees, red pinprick dots, insomnia, depression) with a ton of doctors telling me I have fibromyalgia or CFS, I finally got a WB and it's Lyme and babesia!

I'm on 4 antibiotics (cycling 2) and a ton of supplements. I keep hearing Lyme loves collagen, connective tissues...
Does anyone have lumps, dimples on front of their thighs? It's not cellulite (massage therapist said lumpy connective tissue) acupuncturist said Lyme attacking tissues. When I stand I have all these indents, bumps, pits on front of legs above knees but no bumps, pits on cellulite at all on back of legs or hips. 

When I rub my legs (lying down or standing) it seems like there are little tracks, lines under my skin in my muscle, connective tissue. I know this sounds strange - hard to describe almost like an Ant farm is in there making tracks!

I'm on ABX from my llmd for 4 weeks now...having some good days but bad ones still. I've lost some weight and my mood has lifted...just wondering if this happened to anyone and if it will go away or can I do something for it!
Thx!

Summer is right,I've had this,too,mainly on my feet and calves.I'm glad to say that it is gradually improving.(I have bart)

Btw the red pinprick dots you describe are clinically indicative of Babesia as confirmed by your FISH

Use Galaxy for Bart testing, meds are usually azithromycin and rifampin or levofloxacin but the latter carries warnings for tendonitis and I would avoid this drug if possible.

my skin is all dimpliy, , actually kind of like ripples, lines, I dont even know how to describe it
I never had this before. I use to have beautful arms and strong legs. I have turned into a monster,
I use to love looking in the mirror, and now I am horrified. it is like a sci fi movie... a true nightmare.

It is gross, I have severe inflmation, and baggy fatty skin, everywhere, and unfortunly, Everywhere...
:(

I get grossed out looking at my own body, and i just hope it will go away
and my body will bounce back like prior

Writing a book.... making a documentary on my journey

lymes loves collagen? s___

i feel the same way! my legs above my knees have ripples and lines like rivers indented into the flesh- like scars. What is it? just lyme in the connective tissue eating away? i gained 30 lbs in a year despite not eating and doing 70 mins of cardio everyday and lifting weights. now the pain is so bad i cant lift or do pilates or yoga. I still force myself to walk 5 miles everyday to sweat to detox.

I hope this goes away! i feel the same way- loved my shapely legs- i have always worked out and been able to wear short shorts- now I cant! even though i have lost some weight (mostly edema that was the 30 llbs over the last year) the dents, pits, lines/rivers in connective tissue are still there. I look at everyone elses legs and no one has this! even women that are chunky and have a lot more fat on them than i do!

 

wonder if anything will help this? like rolling on foam roller? or collagen builder supplements? DMSO? any ideas?

 

I want to write a book too! this is a sin that i have been this sick and no one could me for over a year. dumbass DRS- i went to 15 and they all said fibro. CFS. then when i had IGm band 23 on Lab corp they said no not lyme! need to bands- ***?

 

had over 13 bands on Igg & Igm on Ingex. my CD 57 count is 49 - i have every classic lyme, babesia sym. in the book.

do you have any other co infections? People say that Bartneolla attacks the skin like what were are describing. have you been tested for co? are you seeing a LLMD? if so, what meds are you on? how long have you been sick?
