What significance does this have? Can anyone help? I had this on my initial blood report after 3 weeks of doxy.

I have not seen my doc since.

I was bit in Aug 2017 and started doxy within 2 weeks. I have just stopped doxy and am now on maintenance herbs.

I haven't heard of that before.

Was this a routine set of lab tests you had done?

Hi girlie yes it was just routine bloods. Maybe it’s not lyme related then

Never seen that on routine blood tests... ever.

Spelling it right?

Creatine maybe?

I think crenated red blood cells means they have jagged edges?

"Echinocytes (burr, crenated or berry cells): may have 10-30 blunt projections and often seen in people with renal failure; may be an artifact – something caused during sample preparation."

Dang - lost the link to the site.


How are your kidney function tests?
I would have those done if you haven't already

Renal tests were all normal.

Will you let us know what your Dr. says about this?
