I heard a Dr speak on lyme disease recently and he mentioned that white spots on a brain scan can be from Lyme disease or Ms.. Well months before I was diagnosed my scan showed white spots, they said it was typical of Hypertension but could also be from Migraines. Never once did they Mention lyme or MS.. The more I learn the more I see where i could have been saved a lot of heartache if the Dr's had a clue what they were doing.. Anybody have experience with the elusive white spots?

Yes when I started having some neurological problems, my ID dr. did a brain MRI.  It revealed numerous lesions.  However, neither the neurologist or the ID dr. had a clue.  They indicate that it did not "look" like MS but they weren't sure and agreed it was "probably" from the lyme.  I have to say it caused me great anguish but feeling wonderful now, I realize that many of us have these such things and never know about it.  I do however think it is crucial to get proper treatment before they increase.  My worse symptom that I think was from the brain lesions was the facial burning on one side of my face for which I continue to take a small dose of neurontin.

excuse my ignorance,

but aren't the white spots reflective of possibly lack of oxygen blood flow which we all have

obvioulsy these bugs-yeast etc are in our brain and imo with improved blood flow and wbc components as well as herbs-meds that cross bbb, we can get em out and things back to normal

mercuryb, I really know very little about it myself.. I had heard people talk about brain lesions many times but never connected that to my white spots.. No one even ever suggested lyme to me if they had It would have saved me a lot of pain and a week in the hospital..
