Hi everyone, First I'd like to thank you all for responding to me. I appreciate it and don't know what I'd do without the support. I am currently being evaluated for a fistula and will have an MRI of...
Would anyone with a fistula out there tell me how your Surgeon found it?? MRI, catscan??? I am due to have an MRI of pelvis with and without contrast this week. Hope to hear from you.....
Pirouette, Thanks for your reply. The entire time I was on Rocephin I was also on flagyl or tindamax. Both of these are thought to help with the cyst form of lyme. I definitely was treated by a very...
Girlie (Forum Moderator), I have always been symptom free when I got ill again and had to treat. I would treat hard for three months and stop. That is what I am doing now but my Lyme Dr. decided we...

Scifigal, Could you tell me how you got your diagnosis??? Was an MRI, catscan or something else done to verify the fistula? I have been told about a test where they put a tampon in and if they remove...

I was treated in San Francisco by a Dr. who treats lyme. She has since moved out of the bay area. She was in with a Dr. who treats Amy Tan and I'm aware of her struggles with lyme. We used to have a...
