Hello

Could you please tell me what were your mystrious symptoms before you discovered

you have had lyme disease. Did your blood work showed lyme disease or the doctor

diagnosed from symptoms? I have scleroderma with migrating pain. I don't live

near farm but I was bitten by mosquito and got all symtoms of dengue fever. My

blood work showed that I don't have dengue fever. I am wodering maybe that

mosquito bite made me sick somehow.

I can't help but think the various autoimmune and rheumatic diseases

might mostly be caused by Lyme disease. It took years of suffering

the same mysterious symptoms before I followed a friend to her Lyme

specialist and discovered I had Lyme disease. (though I knew I had

been bitten by ticks many times no one would test me) Of course I

also test positive for CREST Syndrome/Limited Scleroderma whichever

you prefer to call it. I can't help but think somehow its related I

have both these illnesses. I took antibiotics and antifungals for 3

years for Lyme and felt better than I had in years after the first 6

months of initial non-stop Herxheimer reactions. The Lyme specialist

told me I needed about 36 months of ABX; I was feeling better after

that time so stopped ABX. Within 3 months I suddenly felt like CRAP

again after going off the ABX. Since Minocin is also used to treat

autoimmune I was put back on that and am suddenly herxing again like

crazy.

So many of you mention the symptoms that are related to Lyme so I

wonder if some of you folks here have Lyme? Especially those of you

that feel better on ABX. BTW- someone mentioned mycoplasms and ticks

are known to also transmit mycoplasms. Just a thought...
