Jasperilla, did your son have any symptoms at all? If so, what? Do you live in a heavy Lyme area?...
I'll just be honest with all of you, there is no way I can afford to pay for this out of pocket. Especially not when I know that my insurance is great. For example, it cost me more money to have a...
Can I call my insurance to see if they cover the testing? I am scared still. No one believes me or supports me in having him tested. Especially since he isn't sick and his rash was visible less than...
Thank you so much PeteZa! I am a believer myself, so I really need to find some comfort in my faith right now. The doctor did not feel that his symptoms and his great health today warranted a lyme...
Ok. I am ready to cry. This seems like some kind of dooming sentence bc of my negligence. He is so little and innocent and I failed him. Is there any hope that this won't affect his life forever ? Or...
The good news is that we have excellent insurance so I am hoping this won't cost much, if anything. So I should just insist on a WB test regardless ? I'm actually seeing a different doc, but she has...
Thanks for the info. I guess I'm still in denial trying to hope it's not LD. :( I'm not convinced but I think it's denial....

So no possibility it's something else ? I have checked and I can't find an llmd to even call in my area....
He is acting completely normal. He didn't want to take a nap as is typical but once he falls asleep he will be out for a couple hours. I think I will let him wake on his own just to get an idea of...
Thanks for your help. Is it normal for the rash to be nearly gone that quickly?...
It's just hard for me to grasp that a rash would disappear in less than 24 hours ! I'm in East TN. I doubt anyone here specializes in it. Can his pediatrician not just test him? I honestly don't want...
I noticed it yesterday afternoon at 4pm and it is nearly gone now. Is there any possible way it's not an EM rash? I'm about to give birth and his is beyond stressful and scary :(...
The first pic is yesterday at bed, second this morning....
Back story, we went camping April 27-30th. We were in a campground the majority of the time and in a state park. We had zero bug repellent b/c I was lazy and I'm pregnant. I did try to check for...
