Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 It's not really a cyst but I have a strange growth on my eyelid. It just appeared suddenly a few months ago and looks like a regular mole except it is not dark but skin colored. It is right on the edge of the eyelid where the eyelashes grow. Seeing our LLMD next week and will ask him about it. I suspect it is either from the lyme or the antibiotics and if he doesn't know I will probably refer to a dermatologist. It's the speed with which it grew that has me most concerned. Anyone else have anything similar.

Yet other times, they interfere with movement and are painful because they grow on the tendon. Mine was on a tendon in my wrist..........It would grow large and then pop.....this went on for years........until one day it burst and never came back. Conniek nwnj Leave no stone unturned!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Dear Cyntha, Are you seeing the LL eye doctor in Lancaster? I saw him yesterday, looks like I may not be getting glaucoma (runs in my family) but he had me tested for Sjrogens and I see him again in a month. He is a neuro-opthamologist and knows more about Lyme than any LLMD I have ever seen! Call me if you can find my number.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 Have either of you (Cyntha or Michele), had your ace levels tested? Sarcoidosis..........which could be triggered by the lyme disease. causes granulomas.........affecting eyes, lungs, kidneys, and cause growths on skin. Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) levels that are raised can indicate this auto-immune disease. Conniek nwnj Leave no stone unturned! It must happen in your mind before it happens in your life !

Dear Connie, Is this in any way related to the condition called skin tags? I'm also wondering if anyone's been diagnosed with lipomas (sp?), fatty cysts, and had them connected to Lyme? About 6 years of so I developed a lot of lumps under my skin - mostly on arms & legs, some on abdomen. Same doctor who thought I didn't have Lyme (negative titer/no rash) 3 years ago diagnosed these as lipomas. thanks, bluesky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a for-instance of how some particular plant or animal enzyme works on something else, if you are just making a generous guess-suggestion. I am not really familiar with enzyme action in the body. thanks bluesky > bluesky <bluesky@...> wrote:> > Dear Connie, > > Is this in any way related to the condition called skin tags? > > I'm also wondering if anyone's been diagnosed with lipomas (sp?), fatty > cysts, and had them connected to Lyme?

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 <<<<<Hi All, Plant and animal enzymes might digest theses things? Thanks, Mike>>>> Digest what? Granulomas? Skin Tags? Sarcoidosis can be a serious organ destroying auto-immune disease. Conniek nwnj Leave no stone unturned! It must happen in your mind before it happens in your life !

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 No but that sure is a good thing to know. Will ask the doctor to do one.
