I came across a blog with someone who has lyme and bartonella and they had pictures of stretch marks.

I have had these stretch marks on my left wrist for many years now - maybe 4? I have never cut/self-mutilated. I am sometimes embarrassed when someone notices them.

These marks are on my left wrist. I am average weight and 25 years old.

I tested negative for IgG and IgM for bartonella henslae through arup lab though.

These are just regular stretch marks yes? I'm feeling paranoid about now. Help me out!

Jon - I think it was Traveler that posted that the Rifampin scratch- marks don't have to be red...so it is possible.

Are you in treatment for lyme and co-infections - with a LLMD? If so, he/she should be making a clinical diagnosis...not relying on lab tests.

Where are you at in your treatment?

Hoping others will chime in about the photos.

Yes, I tested positive for lyme. I have been on biaxin for two weeks. My LLMD only ordered lyme western blot. All other testing was done through arup lab.

Maybe I'm just paranoid.

You're not paranoid...

Lyme doesn't usually come alone, so it's probable you have a co-infection like bart.

Make sure you show your LLMD the photos...and have a discussion about Bart.
