OT Lyme Disease, anyone?
I have just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I've been in a lot of
pain for months and finally have an answer. Has anyone here had it, or a family member maybe. What were your experiences, how long did it last, do you feel better, etc. Darn ticks!!!!! Denise |

OT Lyme Disease, anyone?
I don't have Lyme disease but it is common in my area. My neighbor has it
and my former DIL has the disease, also a former co-worker. I was one of the folks that decided to get the preventative shots. They turned out to have their own problems. I hate ticks also, never saw one until I moved here. The back neighbor has chickens that he allows to free range and they are doing a good job of keeping the ticks under control. Just hope avian flu doesn't spread here. I wish you well getting the Lyme under control. Hugs! -- Bonnie NJ Denise in NH wrote: I have just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease.

Denise:
A friend in the Hudson Valley has LD a few years back. She went to a LD specialist. You can probably find one in your area too. She is okay now, but it took a while to 'cure' even though hers was not especially advanced. Get well hugs on the way! PAT in VA/USA Denise in NH wrote: I have just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease.

Denise, I emailed you the Patient Handout on Lyme Disease from
MDConsult. This is good, solid, understandable information that should give you a strong foundation of understanding Lyme. From that, you can ask your doctor good questions. It was much too long to post here. DS had a bulls-eye rash on his back a few years ago. His primary MD thought it was a bruise and wanted to just watch and take blood in 2 months. I mentioned it to his allergist when I called about DD's meds, he insisted that I bring DS in to see him immediately. He said that the rash was diagnostic for Lyme, couldn't understand why his primary MD wouldn't treat it, and gave DS a month of amoxicillin. The risk of a month of amoxicillin was far less than the risk of Lyme, especially since DS is prone to headaches anyway. DS has a different primary MD now (we had had previous problems with him, this was just the last straw). Kim |

OT Lyme Disease, anyone?
My husband had it maybe 15 years ago. He had a case of the hives at the same
time and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him but he was going downhill fast, liver tests were bad. He finally had the bull's-eye rash and they did a tick test. A dose of a penicillin type medicine cleared everything up. -- BarbQuilts take out the Cat to reply "Kate Dicey" wrote in message ... Denise in NH wrote: I have just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease.
