I know how frustrated you must feel ricko, I am in Greece and there is no LLMD, I had to travel to the UK and even then I had to fight ID docs. There are others on the forum from outside the US, your location isn't listed on your info so I don't know where abouts you are, but someone might be able to point you in the right direction??

In tbe meantime I hope that the dermatologist realises it's bart and knows the limitations of the tests in germany. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Thanks. I live in Dubai,UAE.

A regular MD or Dermotologist likely won't recognize the marks as being from Bartonella is the problem. If you can get a doctor to write an order for a blood draw for Igenex, that would be the best way - but that can come back negative and you still have these infections. That's because the testing is so poor. Honestly, there is nothing better than seeing a LLMD for diagnosis. I know I had to drive 5 hours each way to see the LLMD I did years ago.

I don't live in USA so if I google search for a LLMD, I can't find any LLMD. There's a dermatologist here who has seen a few cases of Lyme and the blood test is sent to Germany so hopefully they diagnose me correctly. Lyme disease is very uncommon in this country. The body pain is getting worse specially in my knees and neck.

Ricko - You can email me - if you're in Canada...or Europe..I might have some options.[/quote

Unfortunately I don't live in Europe or Canada. I live in UAE.

I can't see the pics, but I can tell you I have several variations of what I think are "Bart" marks.

I get something like a streaky red line, about the width of a pencil, with a little curl as it gets narrower. This appears almost in the same place every time - back side of right hip. I get a similar mark above my belly button, also comes and goes but typically in same place. I get what look like stretch marks on my breasts that are really pink, and then they go away. I get tiny little squiggly cappilaries on my inner ankles and the tops of my feet and the insides of my knees, they also come and go and vary with intensity.

It's interesting about the silvery/rosy colored stretch marks because I have notice them too, but I have not gained or lost much weight over the last decades

I came across a name of a possibly Lyme literate doc in the UAE. If they don't check out, then you will be left with the choice of self treating, or traveling to see a LLMD in a nearby country - but from what I can see, the nearest would be the UK.

If you wish to have the contact information of the one possible LLMD in Dubai, just send me an email.

Just by way of comparison, these appeared on me this morning. (Sorry, not a great photo. It is tricky trying to photograph your own arm pit, lol!!)
