What should I expect? I have been having headaches over the last few weeks and I just want more detailed testing done, including co-infection testing. I am going to see Dr. S in PA next Tuesday. I...
Thanks for the reply. I did come across the term petechiae when I was searching last night and it does look like that, except it is only one spot. It seems with petechiae, people get several spots,...
Hello. I was wondering if anyone has had any blood spots under their skin as an effect of Lyme disease? I noticed when I first became ill that I had a small purple spot on the top of my hand. It kind...
Hello. I'm not sure if this is a panic or anxiety attack, but I've been going through a lot of health issues lately. Now I am suddenly having these episodes that start with decreased breathing. Then...
OMG, it does taste horrible!!! IMO 21 days is not enough, but since I have not been diagnosed with anything at all, I can't say for sure. I only have the symptoms of Lyme after having a tick on me,...
He can prescribe Ceftin. It is said to be just as effective. I got bad headaches from it, but as mentioned several times on this board, it can be herx (getting worse before better). Ceftin knocked...
Nicky D - Apparently Quest does not have IND as a reported result. I was just trying to research this and came across that. My test was done through Quest and they will only show + or - so I guess...
Well I think Syphillys and Gum Disease would be pretty unlikely. Everything says either Negative or Non-reactive except band 41, which says Reacitve....
So I got my results today from my second Lyme test. I forgot to ask for the first set of results. Anyway, the doctor said it was negative. I have actually been feeling better since Sauturday when my...
Allergies can start at any time. I had a dog growing up and never had an issue. I even had the dog that I have now and never had a problem in the first couple of years, but in the last few years I've...
Do you wear a perfume or body spray?...
Definitely looks like an allergy to me. I get those when my dog licks me bc I am allergic to her saliva. I also get them when I handle certain fruits with a lot of pollen on them, because of another...
I went to the doctor today for a second Lyme test and asked for my previous results. The nurse gave me the wrong results! She gave me my regular blood work results which I had taken at the same time...
I am not on abx currently, but this just happend to me a few days ago! I had a twisted type of feeling in my knee, but not really painful. It only hurt when I walked down steps. It was like that for...
Thanks. I will see if I can get a copy of the results. I am curious as to what they will say. I hope I don't insult the doctor by asking for a copy of them, but I would like to have them. I might get...
The doc did not give me details, only that is was negative. He told me when I got it done that it would be negative though, because when I found a tick on me, it was only 4 or 5 weeks before the test...
It's me again, with more questions. I posted a few weeks ago about the possibility of having Lyme. I still don't have an answer to that. The doctor gave me just 2 weeks of Ceftin, in case I had early...
Interesting that so many were in Chester County, PA. That is where I work! I am pretty sure I was bitten in Lower Bucks County, PA though. I know that is where my dog was bitten and is diagnosed with...
I lost 5 lbs the first week that I became sick. I am very small as it is, barely over 100 lbs. Started noticing my cheeks were sinking in and everybody was commenting on me looking like I've lost...
Thanks for all of the info ticker! I have actually never had a tick on me prior to that one time. I am a stickler for wearing bug spray whenever I am in the woods. I have pulled several off of my dog...
My dog was diagnosed with Lyme last Spring. She is a usually very energetic dog but began slowing down. My husband thought she was just getting old, but she was only 6yrs old! Then one day her leg...
CajunGrl - I am on 500 mg of Cefurmoxime, taken twice daily. He only gave me a 2 week script. He said that he has only had 2 cases of patients with Lyme in the past, so he is not very experienced...
I began having a fever a few weeks ago with no other symptoms. It was usually 101 or 102 F and was all day and night every day. After 8 days, I went to see a doctor who said it was a possible viral...
Hi Teri, Yes, that was a terrifying moment! I haven't seen a dr or an allergist about it. I was 8 months preganant at the time and mentioned it to my OBGYN at one of my appointments, but she didn't...
Hi. I too have OAS. I just found this out a couple of months ago. A little over a year ago, I ate an apple with peanut butter and my throat swelled up to where I was gasping for breath. I called my...
