I am waiting for the result of my second test for Lyme, I was positive in Igm but the western blot was negative.
I have now had a chest X-ray which has shown enlarged lymph glands has anyone else had this? The doctor has mentioned sarcoiditis..... Any views?

You just made me remember that this was mentionned on the report of my last chest X-ray!!

I didn't get an explanation for it though... I have an appointment with my Dr on Monday, I'll try remember asking him.

It's quite normal to have your lymph glads swell as they try to eliminate the dead Lyme bacteria in your blood stream. Many here have regular Lymphatic massages done, I use a tincture that keep the Lymph fluid flowing better.

Although I do suggest that you get checked out, it's likely only because of Lyme and any other tick-borne infections you may have. Sarcoidosis is one of the 300 most common mis-diagnosis for Lyme.
