Mojowo, First of all let me say that I am extremely happy that your results were benign and that it was not cancer. I had two thyroid surgeries within a few months of each other. The first surgery I...

Anne, I am experiencing the exact same thing your husband is right now, however, I did not have a flu shot. I was treated with anitibiotics for 8 months and I have been symptom free for a year. I...
I had all the tests that you have mentioned including the lumbar puncture. These tests did not definitively diagnose me with Lyme (all tests were negative except I had slightly elevated protein in my...
I bought the Eat This Not That Supermarket Survival Guide and this particular soup has been recommended by this book. I'm the only person that eats vegetable soup in my family so it isn't beneficial...
Hello, I had a rash that also did not look like a typical bulls-eye but it was considered to be an erythema migrans rash due to Lyme disease. It started out looking like mosquito bite and within days...

Hi Jane, I just now saw your question. Sorry in the delay in getting back to you. To answer your questions-For my first thyroid surgery (removed half of thyroid) I chose to do it as an outpatient...
mcjane, I agree with MMMNAVY. Neoplasm means an abnormal growth of cells, not necessarily cancer. I had a follicular neoplasm on the left side of my thyroid that was benign (not cancer) and a...
Hi Minicooper, I had half of my thyroid removed this past February. I ended up going back again in April to have the other half removed due the findings of a small cancerous nodule from my first...

DOWA, In a previous thread to King you mentioned that your doctor thinks that a positive band 41 is significant. Would you be able to elaborate on that comment since my 5 yr old tested positive for...

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. A stiff neck is one of my symptoms that never seems to completely go away. Even when I feel my best, I still have a tight sensation in the back of my neck. I have...
