In response to this quote....I think you all are writing about

borrelia...right? Well it is my understanding that the huge British study

by Dr. proves Bb absolutely IS passed sexually. That study

should be out soon. If you want to look at families in which spouses end up

with symptoms, you need go no further than our family. We've all got it to

some degree-including our lucky new son-in-law who joined our family just a

couple years before we figured out what was going on. Elaine

The partial quote to which I'm referring...... " IN all studies done it cannot

even be transmitted through vaginal sex let alone other forms... "

Carmen,

My LLMD is relatively sure that I got it from my husband. I trust his

expertise and he's even done some research and written articles about Lyme.

All he sees are lymies. Now the issue is that since I've been under

treatment I could pass a resistant strain back to him which would impede his

treatment later. He's just started treatment (finally). I don't want to

have unprotected " intimacy " - What if he's right??? And theologically, I

would still do it at a certain phase of my cycle but for our health's sake I

want protection. Talk with your doctor about it. Not that there's much of

that going on around here with both of us feeling rotten and other major

stressors in our lives.

Thanks yes, I was referring to some of the back posts where there

was alot of discussion of it being an STD - and I had a little

anxiety attack, so to speak.

It just reminds me I have to be very careful of what I read on

newsgroups - all opinions, some well versed, others, just opinions.

Gosh, for a while there, my bf and I were really scared...ty Crmen
