This study is so interesting to me. When I had my rash last summer, I went to an internist (not a LLMD). He said that he'd never seen a rash that looked like mine before and he wanted to show a...
Thanks for your response, Razzle. I am seeing a LLMD. He sent me these test results without including any notes about what the test results mean. I just wanted to know from those of you who are much...
I got my Igenex test results today. My results are as follows: IgM Western Blot results -- indeterminate on bands 31 and 41. All the other bands are negative. IgG Western Blot results --...
Your friend is right that a tick must be attached for a day or more before lyme bacteria is transmitted. However, it's possible that you got bitten by another tick. The day I got bitten, I saw a...
I have abdominal pain that I think is neuropathy. The pain is dull, very persistant ache primarily on the right side near the site of my tick bite, but it is sometimes on the left side as well. It's...
How did "Steere, Shapiro, Wormser et al" justify doing a 180 on their previous opinion?...
I went to a LLMD for the first time last week. He said he thinks it's likely I have Lyme or another tick-borne illness. He gave me Zithromax for 2 weeks, then I add Ceftin and take both. I was...
All of my life, I have exercised. Before my illness started last summer, I could exercise for 90 minutes at a time several days a week with no problem. Yesterday and today, I used my Wii Fit to...
My Lyme tests so far have been negative. I still believe it's likely I have a tick bite related disease. I broke out in a rash that looked like Lyme disease soon after I started feeling ill. Can you...
Since last summer, I've been trying to figure out if I have Lyme disease or not. Last fall, I tested negative on the Elisa test. And then, last week, I was told that I tested negative on the Western...
I also would like to know if it's possible to start feeling better and recover if you haven't been treated with antibiotics. I had a rash that lasted a month and Lyme symptoms every day for 3 months,...
Hi Traveler, I live in TN and I posted on another Lyme disease forum asking for Lyme literate doctors in my area. I was given two doctors' names, one was located in Mississippi, just outside of...
AllieAnn, you said your son "had the same kind of rashes and almost identical symptoms" as I do. Would you mind sharing with me exactly what symptoms your son and I have in common? Did he have a...
I need to clarify. I was prescribed an anti-inflammatory medication for my symptoms, but I did not take it because it did not feel to me like muscle strain was the cause. So that rules out my rash...
CajunGrl, thanks for your response. I don't think it's sumac. I can see a guy getting a sumac rash on his chest, torso and back, but as a girl, I never have my shirt and bra off (the straight line...
I think there is a possibility I have contracted Lyme disease. I just have considered this as a possibility since I saw a segment on the Dr. Oz show this afternoon about Lyme disease. I'd like others...
