I'm new and have q's about congenital Lyme

I just want to introduce myself. For the last year or so, I've had quite a few odd health problems and wasn't sure where to turn. I hadn't ever considered Lyme until I recently went to a new doctor, who ran a bunch of blood tests, including Western Blot, which came up negative, and CD57, which was very low at 16. Based on that, he started treating me for Lyme with herbs (MC-BB-1) and plaquenil. I've had quite a few Herx symptoms since then, but nothing terrible. I'm feeling pretty encouraged, as I've noticed I've been having more moments of clear mindedness, and I don't get cold as easily as before.

I don't really have any idea when I contracted Lyme. My symptoms really became troublesome after I suffered a couple of miscarriages. I believe that I already had Lyme and that the pregnancies probably put some stress on my immune system. The more I learn about Lyme, the more I realize that I've had some symptoms for many years. This makes me concerned about my son, who is nearly 3. I know it's possible that he could have congenital Lyme. Are there any symptoms that children with congenital Lyme first exhibit? By and large, he is a happy and healthy little boy. On the other hand, he tends to tire easily, and he occasionally makes some vague complaints that "something hurts." It's hard for me to judge whether this is normal, or whether I need to pursue some testing for him.

Nosila, some of the things to look for is "itchy" skin, getting tired easily, not wanting to be in the sun, being bothered by lights, getting angry out-of-nowhere, not socializing, complaining of headaches, tummy aches, dry skin, losing hair, sleeping too much, and complaining that things hurt.

depending on their age, most kids will have endless energy, so a change in their behavior, their appetite, and their mood can point to something not being "right".

One way to help them is to make sure that their diet is the best that you can provide. Fruit smoothies, vegetables, limiting their sugar, no soda pop, lots of protein and a good doctor can work wonders.
