So does someone with Lyme have same marks on skin ? Could be Lyme or bartonella ?
Thank you and sorry for my English.

Hi petrkuka06 - welcome!


If you want to try another testing - I recommend the Igenex Lyme WB total cost $250.

You order the test kit, and they will send it for free...get a Dr. to sign the lab req, have the blood drawn and send it back to Igenex via Fedex - on a Monday.


The squiggly lines could be bartonella. I have had several different rashes and I read that bartonella can cause more than just the typical 'cat scratches'.

Elisa test is trash. You should get evaluated by an LLMD. I had very similar symptoms.

Have you had fleas or cat exposure? Those are the most common ways to contract bartonella.

Hi and welcome to our forum,

Bartonella definitely can cause more than just scratch like marks. I have had the classic scratch marks but also many other weird skin marks( chickenwire, honeycomb etc.).

We do encourage all new members to read our "New to Lyme" start here thread at the top of the page.

it has helpful information on testing, symptoms, detoxing and more.

You should consider cutting out all sugar, alcohol, get plenty of rest. build up your immune system and eat a healthy gluten free type diet.

I am sorry you are having these symptoms and i hope you get some treatment and relief soon.

Take care.
