It is the same in the UK. I had a private positive test for Lymes after having 2 negs over 10 years. The NHS are refusing to accept this and have forced me to go back to the government testing...

My hair falls out all the time at the moment and weirdly, it no longer takes hair colourant...it was lasting for around 2 weeks (permanent colour) and then just stripping off. Fortunately no one...
Having being mis-diagnosed for 10 years, I have been ignorant on Lymes, apart from cross ref symptoms. Suddenly, i am having to research and educate myself, not just for me, but because in the UK,...
Thanks, Girlie/Tickbite....that's explained it enough for me to stop scratching my head when I read about I.V X-Rays....
Why do they have to X-Ray the infusion line after it is inserted? Is it placed in a site different from the normal I.V lines? Is this the same protocol everywhere, i am based in the UK. Thanks...

WOW...this is totally familiar to my story...the strong psych drugs causing more problems than good....i also have a history of bites from mozzie and sandflies, to unexplained rashes whilst...
I agree Hoagie...i think positive thinking has helped. Basically, looking at myself as a fighter from birth and making efforts to prove an "i can do" attitude, has helped me achieve many goals. If...

My 2 dogs keep me going every day. Annoying retro pop music from the 70's and 80's and my sense of humour. I lived near the sea for a while...i would love to go back to that, something about dead...
