Hi,

I'm new to the forum and am grateful that I found such a wonderful resource/community like this.

I posted in the Peripheral Neuropathy section, but wanted to get some advice/comments from the Celiac side of things too.

My sister has had burning/tingling/vibrations in her hands, feet, face, and other parts of her body, for 1-2years now. In that time, her hands and feet have become weak to the point of her not being able to use them for long periods of time (she can't walk more than a few minutes before it gets burny). Before this, she was fine and very active.

No tests really uncovered anything (other than a MRI that showed she had small white lesions in her frontal lobe), so we did a Lyme test recently. The test didn't classify as a positive, but she did have a low CD-57 (natural kiler) count, which along with all her symptoms, may point to lyme.

The treatment for this is antibiotics, but we're trying to rule out all other things before going this route.

That being said, I was reading up on Celiac Disease, and want her to test for this first (as alot of her symptoms could point to this). My question is, has anyone encountered this crossroads before, and/or have experience/advice on the matter? I was trying to find information on whether having Celiac Disease could fit my sister's situation (i.e. low CD-57, no gastro problems, but neuropathy ones, white lesions), and couldn't come to a clear cut answer.

Any information/comments would be appreciated. Thank-you.
