I think C4 is a marker for autoimmune diseases.[/quote] Yes I did see that upon further research last night... that's odd though as my ANA was negative... I wonder if lyme can cause a borderline low...
I do think I have it, I'm just not totally convinced it's what's causing the symptoms I'm experiencing right now. I sure hope it is because I'd rather not have lyme and co + something else. Also...
You could have symptoms now from your past exposure to ticks/bites. How long before you go to a llmd ? It doesn't sound like the functional medicine Doc is lyme literate... Have you considered...
No I don’t have another diagnosis, still hung up on the herpes thing but I’ve had probably like 12 tests come back negative for that. Lyme is the only real lead I have right now. I haven’t had a tick...
Sorry I did have an FT3 done, I just didn't include it. The result was 4 with a reference range of 3.4 - 5.9 PMOL/L so a bit on the lower side as well. I'm just looking to see if anyone thinks any of...
Hi all, So I'm still stuck in Canada waiting for my visa to hopefully go through so that I can go back the US for work (and also see a LLMD). But until then I've started seeing a functional medicine...
Previously posted this in one of my other threads but wanted to add here to track my symptoms/include updates on how things have progressed A lot of my symptoms are specific to my pubic area... and...
Thanks everyone for the kind words! She is honestly a disgrace for a doctor... so irresponsible, heartless, and greedy. Unfortunately we have a shortage of doctors in my area so it's been a challenge...
I regrouped with my family doctor today as the internal medicine doctors aren't helping and I'm stuck in a rut. I came armed with more information and tests I wanted to ask about after reading Dr....
Do people commonly have mast cell activation and lyme at the same time? Is it something that can be brought on by lyme?...
Hi all, Feeling really discouraged, overwhelmed, and confused. Someone mentioned Bioenergetic medicine in another thread so I decided to give it a shot and had my appointment yesterday. She did a...
Super hard for me to tell if these are raised or not since they’re basically the size of a grain of sand! But when I find a bigger one here or there I do think they look like they sit slightly on...
Hi sebrag-- thanks for your compassionate reply. I'm thinking of also adding this to my other thread about my symptoms. A lot of my symptoms are specific to my pubic area... and it's unfortunate that...
Thanks all so much for your insight. I didn't mean to start a debate! I'm not going to lie, I'm quite confused as to what to make of this. There are more now than there were yesterday so this must be...
Sorry if this is a dumb question but would people with Bart be considered inmunocompromised or inmunocompetent?...
Hi all, Not sure when these appeared (they could have been there for a while but they're so tiny I just didn't notice) but I was looking at the skin on my upper arms and found tons of these little...
Thanks for the responses. jrpsf-- you mentioned inflammation in my system. I had asked this on a separate thread, but curious about your opinion too. My CRP test came back normal. Shouldn't this be...
Thanks for posting this, just took a look at Afflicted last night and skipped through to the people with Lyme. I'm only a few episodes in but can't believe 3 of the 7 have already been diagnosed with...
Confused and panicking... I just had a very rough few days (happened to align with my period) and today is much better now that my period has just ended. I've obviously gone through many cycles since...
As always-- I really appreciate everyone's replies and support. A few newer symptoms I'm experiencing: -Super itchy nose (thought this could be allergies but starting to think it might be parasites)...
Link just seems to take me back to this post but I will do a search...
I did a Bartonella blood test here in Canada that was negative, not sure how sensative that test was. It’s really scaring me that no one else seems to really have experienced this... I don’t know...
Hi all, I've yet to read about someone with lyme who has this symptom and it's really freaking me out. I often have a burning sensation from my waist down (but occasionally above) and the skin is so...
Hi all-- thanks so much for the kind words and responses. Unfortunately a very long wait for all Lyme docs including J Clinic. Not really worth me making an appointment until I figure out where I'm...
I was totally convinced I had HSV and that was causing my skin burning from the waist down. All negative after multiple blood tests, western blot, and swabs. My mind is still stuck on it after 10...
Hi all... I'm back with some updates. My Epitope test for band 31 came back positive from Igenex. Unsurprisingly, the internal medicine doctor didn't even want to look at my Igenex results and said...
Hi all, Thank you so much for your replies. Everyone has been so helpful! Here is the latest on my situation: I've moved back home to Canada and my doctor here let me know that I was reactive for...
Hi 1000Daisies, Thanks for your reply. I haven't had a blood test for yeast done, I will make sure to ask for that once I'm back in Canada next week. I have had several vaginal cultures done for...
Girlie-- thanks so much for your reply. It's really interesting to hear that you also had low ferritin and vitamin D as well. Do you think it might be worth me doing the 24 hour cortisol test as...
Hi everyone, I've been experiencing several strange symptoms and all normal tests results for everything since November 2017. This all started after I had an itchy spot on my inner thigh that some...
