stretch marks (was unknown)

[Guest guest]

Think stretch marks can be associated with over-production of cortisol. And one thing is for sure children and adults with autism who are in a permanent state of anxiety produce lots of cortisol.! You will find references under cushings syndrome/adrenal issues etc.

SOme pictures here http://www.mdjunction.com/forums/lyme-disease-support-forums/general-support/110912-bartonellastretch-mark-rash-anyone-familiar/limitstart/10 Ours look like the tree trunk pattern on side of body - hip and up almost into chest. They are very purple at times and then the coloring will fade into what I thought was 'stretch marks.' We have no positive test for Bart; only a weak positive plus scads of symptoms for Lyme.
