Has anyone ever had something like this??

Please take a look at the link, it's a photo of my back, this is what prompted by PCP to test for Lymes, but I just met with my neurologist and he said it doesn't fit Lymes??

Are you talking about those raised lines? Or the nearly bruised looking spots?

First I have to ask, is it possible that you scratched yourself harder than you realized?

Your Neuro doc doesn't know Lyme like they think they do - neither is unusual for Lyme. The lines are from histamine intolerance (Dermatography), all too many with Lyme have this, and for some it goes further and actually causes real issues with MCAD (Mast Cell Activation Disorder), and can be related to elevated C4a (www.betterhealthguy.com/cirs2016)

Yep, that's dermatography. It can be from most any of these infections, but it's a sign that your histamines are too high.

Are you seeing a LLMD? They could prescribe meds for you to keep this under control - because they DO believe it happens with these infections.

Whatever this is I recommend that you get a second opinion and get definitive answers quickly. If i were you I would see a dermatologist AND an infectious disease doctor in the next 5 days. I don't want to scare you but if it is lyme disease, or any infection from a tick or some other bite, the quicker you act the better your chances are of not having long term health problems ie. symptoms for months or even years. If it were me I would want to get extensive bloodwork done and then get on a course of doxycycline in the next couple days.

Well, the Neuro is wrong on the tremors too, many here deal with tremors due to these infections - again, those are mainly from Lyme and Bart.

Don't get your hopes up for the ID doc either, very very few of them will acknowledge the truth about these infections because they are sticking to 'political lines':

As for your Western Blot results, bands 23 and 39 are specific for Lyme. ​A "Lyme specific band" means specific for Borrelia Burgdorferi, sensu stricto - Lyme disease in the strictest sense. There ​are​ only ​two on the over 300 known strains of Lyme that is considered Bb, ss. Nothing else will turn a Lyme specific band positive other than Lyme disease.

There's no doubt you have these infections. What abx and at what dose are you on? How long do you believe you may have been infected before you started treatment? A few days? A few weeks? Or much longer? That will help us understand if you have had enough treatment or not. 28 days of treatment on too low of a dose will not heal these infections, just as not being in treatment long enough will not heal these. We are here to help you make sure you get the treatment you need to heal.
