They pop up from nowhere, and disapear in 15 minutes or so. Sometimes they itch. In my palms they sometimes hirt and comes solo.

I also have strange pain in muscles and skin that come and goes. Alot in my soles from time to time and hands as well but not as bad yet. I also lost some sensitivity in my skin in some part of my body.

Krissi - I remember you posting here recently - wondering about lyme disease.

Have you posted a thread to help find a LLMD - to evaluate whether you have lyme disease?

Do you remember a tick bite?

I'll take a look at your other posts..and see what you wrote in them.

So, reading your previous posts - you certainly have symptoms that could be attributed to lyme disease.
I also see you're from Europe.

Maybe start a new thread and in the title mention you're from Sweden and need help.
We do have members from Europe as well as a moderator.

Thank you for your reply... My last post was so long so i just decided to take out the rash part together with an brief text. Maybe more people will make to the images :)

I will send blood to germany soon. I have contact with a lyme doctor in my country, he thought about bartonella. But it's not the typical scars.

Bart and lyme produce rashes. And there's different types of rashes, as well. Most people think of bart rashes as the streaks, but there are other bart rashes.
If you google bartonella rashes....see what you get.
Some lyme or bart rashes (I can't remember which) - are in the form of little red spots.

Hi Krissi,

I have had some similar looking rashes. I tried to figure out whether it was Bartonella, Babesia or something else. It is definitely an infection surfacing. I would recommend seeing a Lyme Literate doctor. Hopefully, you can get in touch with our European members.

I have also wondered if I have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I have had a spotted rash on the palms of my hands. I have not been diagnosed with RMSF. However, I have definitely wondered if I have it. I am taking Doxycycline and other meds. So, I should be covered.

Hopefully, you can figure out what is going on and get treatment. Keep us posted. Best of luck to you. Welcome!

I have some help.. And i will send some blood to an lab in Germany. Armin labs. It's like your lindex index igdex? lab.

They will do a better job than Sweden which only do the ELISA. I will try bartonella and severeal lyme tests.

It's expensive though. It's not covered through our public health insurance to do tests abroad

Krissi - I'm in the UK and I tested through Armin labs. Dr S is very helpful. I completed their check-list of symptoms to see what I should test for. It is very expensive, but I found it was worth every penny! Hope it will give you some answers too.

(Celeste - sorry but I needed to edit your post to remove the LLMDs name as we don't list them here in order to protect them - Mister Mike)

I hope you get the answers and treatment you need!

Celeste15 i cant find their check-list youre talking about...
Posted 5/24/2015 1:01 PM (GMT 0)
Krissi - I emailed them and they sent me the lyme checklist and the coinfections checklist. Andrea is very helpful with enquiries (her English is excellent!). Armin can then interpret the checklists and suggest testing priorities. I did test for more coinfections than he suggested though, as I didn't want to miss anything!

Krissi - in case you've not seen it, this is an interesting presentation by Armin: /m.youtube.com/watch?v=JW2iJF8C3Rc

He does talk about testing and the checklists.

Hi Krissi,

I saw your photos and I get exactly the same rash! Mine is only in the morning and it usually dissapates within an hour of getting up. It is very itchy sometimes and mine is usually on my ankles and upper arms. I have Bartonella. My feet also get extremely sore and tender and sometimes even feel as though I have a splinter in the skin for a day or so and then magically it goes away. I have never had the "stretch mark" rash that many get with Bart, only the little red bumps. One time, a long time ago before I was diagnosed I woke up one morning and it looked like something had left long , very light, scratch marks on my belly - but those only lasted a day and never itched.

I hope that helps!

Jenny
