Thanks so much for your response! I would've put money on being LADA, but my antibody test was negative. My Endo says that if it was type 1 or LADA, I would be producing a lot less insulin. My Endo...
I'm new to the Diabetes forum, but I frequent the Lyme Disease forum as I have that too. I had a 2 hour glucose tolerance test done in April. The results were 9.9mmol/178. I asked for the test...
Both my husband and I have Lyme and are both experiencing this symptom. I take 400mg Doxy, 1000mg Flagyl, and 1000mg Biaxin. My husband takes 400mg of Doxy. Both our 'seeing stars' happened shortly...
Type 1.5 used to be called double diabetes. Basically it is type 1 which is an autoimmune disease, but can take years to become insulin dependant. It's usually seen in people over 30 with a normal...
I was diagnosed and started tx for Lyme in February. I got my tick bite in '06. I'd been having symptoms of hypoglycemia, so my LLMD sent me for a 2 hour glucose test. To my surprise the test showed...
My left eye twitches often. Now it looks different from my right. Theres puffieness underneath when I smile and I have crows feet on the left but not the right...weird....
I've been feeling like that for a couple months too! I've noticed that I my hunger intensifies when my temp is below normal. Do you check your temp regularly?...
There are other rashes that can look like a bulls eye such as granuloma annulare and ring worm can sometimes have this appearance. There are obvious differences. Was your rash associated with a tick...
Thanks Dorit! I am Trisha. I'll check out the link you posted. I had the rash in May 2006 and the Elisa was done in November 2008....

Hi everyone! I've posted a picture of my rash on badspiderbites.com. I'm post #135 at the very bottom. I'm beginning to have second thoughts as to whether or not it's lyme with my negative Elisa...
I'm having trouble finding info about swollen lymphnodes with late stage lyme. Mine have been swollen for over 4 months (throughout my body, most noicable in groin). I don't remember them being...
I got the rash in May 2006. I wish I knew what it was then!...
I waited 7 weeks for test results only to find out the Elisa was non reactive! It's going to be very difficult to get treatment, my GP didn't think lyme was a possibility. I'm hoping that I can get...
I am beginning to think my husband has Lyme too. I know they say that you get Lyme from ticks, but if the Lyme spirochete can crosss the blood brain barrier and be passed to a fetus, could it be...
Hi Matt, Do you live in Ontario, Canada? Are you seeing Dr. B? I'm waiting to get an appointment with him....
Thank you everybody for your posts. It's nice to know I'm not alone, however, it's absolutely ridiculous that anybody has to go through this! I can't believe this is all about antibiotics. I know...
I find it odd that we apparently don't have Lyme in Canada, but we have Dr's who specialize in it and have a Canadian Lyme Disease foundation. Weird! What is wrong with the medical community? Dowa,...
My test results still aren't back, it'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. I went to my GP today, 'cause I need to get this ball rolling, I'm sick of waiting and getting worse. I brought my husband with me today,...
I am just in the beginning stages of testing. I convinced a walk-in clinic Dr to send me for the first screening test (I'm in Canada where Lyme doesn't exist according to Dr's)I believe it would be...
That's unbeleiveable Hiker53! Lyme is serious, what's the hold up? It's too bad that we have to take everything in our own hands. Dealing with lyme is enough, there shouldn't be the battle with the...
The test my Dr ordered two weeks ago, still hasn't come back. How long does it typically take to have results from the first test?...
Thanks Phsinvent! I've been having the pains in my stomach /gallbladder too. They are intense today. I had ultrasounds done 2 years ago and they found nothing abnormal. The Dr. said my gallbladder...
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and if this could be Lyme relalted. Over the last few months I feel hungry very frequently, craving sweets. I began to shake if I didn't eat frquently....
KO-LD, that is exactly what happend! But, I haven't gotten the test back yet. I contacted Canlyme and the've given me the name and # of a LLMD in Canada. I will probably have to bypass my GP to get a...
Once I find a Dr to take me seriously, I'll get me gallbladder checked again. My GP said it was probably just gas when I inquired about it recently. I had an ultrasound 2 years ago when it first...
Can a vet test for lyme in humans, my dogs get excellent care. I`m not getting anywhere with Dr`s. Pretty sad that someone would have to consider this....
I 'm getting sicker by the day, so I showed up at my Dr's office, thinking surely he will help me. He said that It's very unlikely 'cause Lyme is only found in the states. No tick, no lyme he said....
Thank you kitty 9309 and Orzelro for your posts. I have an appointment with my family Dr on Tuesday I will try to get an appointment with the infectious disease specialist in my area. I don't know if...
I spoke to Jim Wilson at canlyme yesterday. He was extremely helpful. That's where I got the list of symptoms from. The Dr at the hospital glanced at them and said my symptoms could be from a number...
Hi, I too have been having this problem. The Dr told me there doesn't seem to be anything wrong and maybe my gallbladder is just sludgy! what the hell does that mean! That was 2 years ago, and I'm...
I went to the clinic yesterday armed with the picture of my bullseye rash, 'cause I just can't take the pain and confusion anymore. The Dr. had no idea what l was talking about but found a blood test...
I'm sure this is a very common question. I've been feeling awful for quite some time. A co-worker said it sounds like lyme disease and asked me if I've ever had a bullseye rash. I had one over 2...
