Madisongrrl - I'm glad you have finally found an avenue to pursue regarding the cause of all your issues. It's just amazing how many different things can cause the crazy neurological symptoms that all of us experience to one degree or another. And how hard it is to identify what the cause (or causes) are.
Best of luck in your ongoing treatment. Lyme disease is a tough nut to crack, especially if you've had it for a decade. But based on all your posts, it seems you are very tough and resilient - and will never give up. If anyone can beat lyme, I think you can. |

Madisongrrl - I just wanted to tell you that I had the unknown rashes for 2 or 3 years (Lyme symptoms for decades), and I had an Integrative doctor tell me that supplementing with 50 to 100 mg of zinc would help the rashes. I was supplementing, but only 15 mg of zinc. When I upped my dose of zinc, the rashes went away!

Zinc is overlooked I believe. I never had rash type issues until all the topicals I use and supports on my knee and ankle which cause some abrasions. I started taking 25-50mg Zinc Picolinate daily not that long ago and glad I did. I also LOVE zinc oxide for healing rashes/abrasions.

Maddisongirl well done you for tracking down and proving Lyme. My cousin, who lives in France has Lyme. Hers was confirmed by an excellent primary care doctor where she lives who has a special interest in Lyme. Unfortunately it crossed the placenta of both of her young sons while in vitro so they have to take treatment too I believe. She does very well on the treatment - some sort of antibiotic along with a herbal medicine she gets supplied from Scotland where her family are from.
I was investigated for Lyme a year ago although I felt it very unlikely because I've never lived in a Lyme area. The test came back negative anyhow and it was one run by my neurologist who dies see Lyme disease in his area of Scotland where it is increasing. I am interested in the fungal causes David mentions here. My small fibre neuropathy seemed to start prior to my RA symptoms starting. I'm getting nowhere with investigations however but your news has inspired me to persist badgering my doctors to get to the cause as its progressing slowly but surely and I have this horrible ache in my pelvis now which means it has risen from my groin and seems to be getting worse in my face now too. I hope you have great success with treatments. Mat X Quote:
