He was treated for 4 months and still has some signs of Lyme....please don't think you are safe in California! Your not.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Bullseye rash is not always apparent. I also heard that you can get Lyme from mosquitos as well.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I never had a bulls eye rash. There is also a stealth virus that has the Lyme DNA so you will test positive for Lyme even tho you have the stealth virus. My Lyme doc does not believe this even tho there is a research lab in CA that has treated for the stealth virus. A virus would also explain why there is so much Lyme disease everywhere. My ex and my current both have Lyme. How coincidental is that? http://www ccid.org/stealth/clinical/svandlyme.htm -- Re: Re: Question about stress dosing - VAL? Bullseye rash is not always apparent.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I've been monitoring my blood sugar occasionally while taking HC as I was concerned about BG going up. I have noticed no changes at all, my BG has stayed normal, around 80 for a fasting number. I do think that the scare warnings have to do with very high doses of HC.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 > > p.s. if you need info. on Lyme Disease in California, just say the > word! > > Yes, please do send it. Then tell me...what are the symptoms? Any chance similar to rheumatic fever? (Untreated strep, then 5 weeks later roving joint pain, with possible red mark & hot?) Or, can rheumatic fever, if one had it, set off this whole process? When we first got here in July, she had a bad sore throat that never developed into much, then it went away. Five weeks later to the day, she got a sore elbow with no apparent injury (but she's hypersensitive to pain, so we've been down that road before), and it was inflamed, red, and hot to the touch. So, I googled something like " red elbow " to find out if I should put a cold or hot compress on. Well, much to my surprise, every site I went to had an advisory for rheumatic fever, with the 5 weeks being the key element tracing back to the sore throat. Well, I called the new pediatrician, and of course I'm sure they think I'm " Munchausing " because I asked about rheumatic fever. Wouldn't have even known about it if I could remember hot or cold compress! Anyway, it's always been hard to gauge the intensity of the health problem with this kid, since she's so miserably sensitive to pain. I'm assuming that has to do with the low T3!? I think it's also important to remember that she has had low body temps since I can remember & has had major sleep issues since birth. Also always hypersensitive to pain, etc. I swear it's something with the HPA axis, but of course I am not limiting myself to that only.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 - how reliable is re-testing for Lyme, if one has had it twice, been on antibiotics for a month both times & taken the Lyme vaccine too? I seem to recall reading that these thing may throw off interpreting test results. Sometimes I wonder if I could still have something low-grade left over from Lyme, a new infection, etc. We live smack-dab in the middle of Lyme-central. Thanks, > : > > Forgive me if I am repeating myself, but my low growth hormone, low thyroid, low cortisol, was due to Lyme. > > Has she been checked for Lyme with the Western Blot? The CDC says that you must be positive on the IgG, IgM Western blot plus one other test, preferably the urine PCR. However, the urine PCR is known to be negative 40% of the time and Igs will not pick up early Lyme. I had several positives on my IgG and by CDC standards I was considered negative cause my PCR was negative. My IgM was highly positive. Yet my case was not listed as being positive for Lyme when it was reported to document another case of Lyme. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
