Worry wart with concern (again!)

Haha Girlie! I am going through the same thing as you.

Darn tinglies under the scalp!!! What the heck is it anyways!!

I don't know what the sore scalp is though, I guess mine is mildly sore but I'm more concerned about the tingling.

I really wish I knew what it was, that's like my only symptom right now. I didn't have this symptom at all when I first got sick either.

I just think it's either lyme, bart, or nerve damage, or all of the above.

How did your MRI show up? - I am going to request for an MRI What other symptoms do you have? I am mostly symptom free now but have occasional ache like sensation but not too painful in my spine. Those are my only lingering symptoms.

LP - I never had this symptom until a couple months after I started treating.
Maybe I shld up my Ceftin dose - I'm only taking 500mg twice daily.

I have had two brain MRI's and they were fine - although the stalk is deviated to the left slightly. One was enhanced with dye to check my pituitary gland. I paid for that one in Courtenay.

How long is the wait for an MRI in Alberta?

Here it's about a year unless you have a specialist bump it up or you self pay.

Have you tried to pinch your scalp - can you get anything between your fingers?

I still have a lot of symptoms - vibrations in my body, shivers, hot flashes - night and day, shoulders sore and stiff, tailbone pain, foot pain, twitches here and there ( greatly reduced tho), pressure behind my eyes, short term memory issues, knee pain - and a few others that aren't as prominent.

Overall I am feeling better tho. The tingles on my scalp I can handle - it's just worrying me about the scalp not being tight against my head.
If there's inflammation is it just under my skin. - or what???

I've been googling - and I'm thinking it's ok to be able to pinch your scalp and it not be tight.

Geez - Am I the only one that worries about the strange symptoms? How do we know when to investigate? I've stopped looking for other causes for symptoms - basically pawning them off to Lyme and co's.

I used to get sore spots on my head all the time - and at times I could have sworn that it was my hair that hurt! My scalp would get very, very sensitive during different times during my infection/healing process.

I've never tried pinching my scalp when I was infected - I didn't want to risk causing any more pain to my head to be honest!! LOL! So I don't know if I've had that or not.

I've had a sore spot on top of my head for weeks.
I mentioned this to my rheumatologist at my last appt., to which she said...nothing.
My neurologist said, "This is not brain!" Meaning, it's not a migraine so it's not my department.

It's a yucky, mushy feeling. Hope this goes away!

Hey Leilex!! How are you? How is your Lyme treatment going?


Nice to hear from you!

Lyme is the weirdest disease to deal with.

The symptoms are weird....the way we heal is weird.

Thank goodness we're not weird :)

Sorry for yet another puzzling symptom, Girlie!

MM

I only took doxycycline, amoxicillin and Doryx (delayed-release doxy).


Girlie

We're weird only because of Lyme lol

haha, Trav - lyme stuff aside...I kinda have a weird sense of humour sometimes...I'll be laughing at something, and my husband doesn't find it funny at all.

MM - I'll take that as a compliment.

Hmmm, that's odd! LOL!!!
