Guest guest Posted May 28, 1999 Report Share Posted May 28, 1999 Thanks Marta, I am leaving tomorrow. I feel horrible and am dreading the trip. But hopefully good things wwill come out of it. My doctor just put me back on Mephron for the sweats and creepy crawling sensations all over my body. They drive me nuts. I get these crawling feelings all over. They raise up on my skin in patches. They look like goose bumps but in all different places about the size of a nickles. It make me very worried that this is a symptom other than lyme. Trying to get a skin test to see if it will whow them anything.......Plus I hae streaks of rash on my body where ever my skin touchs together and gets warm........I just worry that I have something else, even though I have all of the lyme symptoms. And to top it all off, I a have been bed ridden since they took away my I.V. Other than that , I am haing a GREAT day....haaa. Love G.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 1999 Report Share Posted May 29, 1999 Hi . I'm new to the group, but wanted to let you know that I had those bumps all over my hands after my initial bite 12 years ago. No one new what they were, including me since we didn't know anything about Lyme in Rochester, NY, but I was treated with a 10 day course of antibiotics and predisone. I get them again now when I have a Herx. I also had a terrible time with the rash you speak about, although I have less and less trouble with it since I have been treated for yeast. Are you on any yeast treatment? Peace, Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 1999 Report Share Posted May 30, 1999 Hi , HME, Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis is a tick disease, a rickettsia, not a spirochete, it can be fatal if untreated. The treatment is doxycycline. The rickettsia eat your white blood cells. I was notified by the State of NJ Dept of Health, that I tested positive for that. My doctor thought I had HGE too, which is another tick disease, Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis. (Hope my spelling is right.) There are many tick diseases that you can get from the bite of one tick, Babesia, Rocky Mountain Spotted fever and Tularemia...again not sure of spelling. Forschner covers all of them in her book, " Everything you Need to Know about Lyme disease and other tick borne diseases, " This book is a must have for anyone with Lyme disease.

It is my 3rd week of the IV Rocephin and I have a few good days followed by a few really bad ones. When I first started it the pain in my back and knees went away almost completely. That has returned and is going full tilt right now. Also the fatigue is better for a day or so and then I can hardly get out of bed for the next 2. Really feel like a yo-yo. How are you doing? L >> , You could be my clone by that discription. I have pretty much the exact same life right now. The fevers for the most part have subsided they go up to 99 usually at night. I feel pretty good for a day or two, even have my wits about me and everything and then boom I am exhausted with headaches and feeling lousy for a few days. It is totally weird. If I take a hot bath I am completely wiped out for the whole day. don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing. I also noticed if I drink hot tea that my headaches get really bad and I am in a lot of pain. Dont know what that is either. A common symptom I have is getting itching only on my thighs that lasts for about an hour and comes every three weeks or so. Yesterday it was itching like crazy and I got these small patches of red bumbs on my legs and little bruises. I can't even think to analyse it anymore I just look to God for support and help. I need the energy source of a much higher power to get through this. I am in my fifth week of IV and my third week of Mepron/Zithro so I don't even know what is doing what if anything is working at all. LOL Oh I forgot were you ever tested for babesia?

I was treated back in 1994 after a rash on my leg and severe joint pain as well as fatigue and flu symptoms. The ID doc that treated me that time gave me a months worth of Doxy and when all the sympotoms went away in that time said I was " cured " . So now I dont know if it is a reoccurance from 94 or a reinfection from July of 98 when I had a rash on my neck and then developed all of my current symptoms. My LLD thinks it is a reinfection and that what I had in 94 was possibly something different or I was treated early enough that that is why my symptoms resolved so fast. I didnt start treatment this time until May of this yaer so it was almost a year of letting things get worse and now its that much harder to treat. By the way the same ID guy I saw in 94 told me that it wasnt Lyme this time and sent me on my way to U of MI where they really blew it. How about you? How long have you had it and how long did it take to get a dx?

My sister (w/Lyme) has terrible headaches...I'm going to tell her about the fan/ac idea. I'm also on IVs (starting my 13th week). Most of my physical stuff resolved on orals - low doses at that. My psychiatric symptoms were for the first 10 weeks worse then before IVs, tho my sleep disorder (couldn't sleep for long) resolved and most of my tingling,numb and twitching has resolved on IV, too. It wasn't til about the 11th week that the psychiatric (depression, mental agitation and mild anxiety) noticeably improved. I'm on these IVs for the long haul. Nice to meet you, Judy - noah@...

If you stayed symptoms free for four years chances are you were luckily cured the first time. I can't believe you couldn't get treated even with the rash by the same doc who once treated you befor. tht is insane. I have had Lyme since 93. I went for 8 months of different doctors before getting a diagnosis. I went on IV therapy (Rocephin) and got 90% better and went back to college thinking everything would be fine. I relapsed again in 94 went on bicilliln shots got better once again. I relapsed again about once every year but always got better within a month and was fine. Unfortunately this last relapse in july of 98 has put me out and I still can't get control of it. I have been on so many things since last year and nothing seems to be taking care of it. I was on bicillin shots before this IV and was about 50-70% better depending on the day. With this IV I am so much worse. I am also on Mepron/Zithro now for the babesia and that isn't doing anything either. However it is strange that every other time I improved I never had a classic herx reaction. This time I have gotten worse and had fevers and chills and stuff but it isn't consistent and it isn't getting better. I don't know what to think anymore but I continue to search for answers everyday. feel better-Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 1, 1999 Report Share Posted June 1, 1999 Hi Judy, Welcome to the list, so glad you found us. I am so happy you are doing well on the IV.
