[There were 5 husband and wife combinations where both had sarc. Sarc is so rare that there shouldn’t have been any. May indicate the disease is communicable.]

Gene,

I pulled the above from your earlier post, as it is something I have been thinking about. When I posted this tread, this is exactly the kind of information I was searching for.

Interestingly, in my research of Lyme disease I learned that it is also believed by some that it too can be transmitted through semen and from mother to child through the placenta, a theory that most of us have never heard about. As my daughter has had numerous tick bites, and because of the experiences of others like Roz, we are doing all that we can to rule out the possibility that Lyme is a factor in her RSD.

You may recall that I mentioned in an earlier post to you that my Mom had Sarcoidosis; and although I do not want to be paranoid … for my daughter’s sake, I do not want to find out that we have been ignorant (uninformed). Wow, too much to think about! I will definitely be talking to her doctor about this, again in an effort to rule out any unknown factors.

I thank you so very much for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience with us.

Jeanne
