Hi Girlie, Yes, you remember me correctly. I am doubtful of the availability of Lyme Literate specialists here in Southern England and in part my GP is helping me to pursue testing because he wants...
I will get all the testing I can. I remember asking the doctor if he thought that Doxy would be effective seeing as I had muscle spasms and internal tremors and stabbing pains so soon after the...
Oh, I am so sorry, I hate the frustration of knowing something that other people wont believe. I have been lucky enough to have been taken seriously, whilst a differential diagnosis is also being...
Thank you, I used to live in Portsmouth, I bought my first home in North End after being a student there and living in Southsea, Fratton and Buckland....it all looks different now, not so many pubs!...
Hi, Thanks for replying. I am in The New Forest, Hampshire.... I was looking at the private labs this morning but wasn’t sure which I should request, so thank you for your advice...
Hello again, It is about 100 days from my first symptoms, in the meantime I have had two negative Elisa tests but was clinically diagnosed and received 3 weeks of Doxycycline. I experienced very...
No, not specifically. This has been going on a while without progression...
Hi, I see lots of posts mentioning droopy upper eyelids, but I seem to have a problem with the lower one. My right eye looks, and feels wider open than the left, and intermittently waters,...

Hi, Only a couple of times during the flu-ish symptoms in the first 10 days after the bite...
Hi, No, I have had a general blood test as well as a renal/ liver screen. That is how my low potassium was found, but that is all. I expect B12 and magnesium coud be useful tests, I will mention it...
Thank you! I am laying here ( night time in England) gently vibrating as leg pain moves deftly from shin to thigh before it becomes hip pain again, and wondering which bit of me will hurt in the...
Noted, thanks!...
Hi, thank you for your responses. Out of interest, presuming Lyme disease, would the vibrations and tingly arms etc. be considered as neurological symptoms, in which case will Doxycycline be the...
Hi, Thank you for your quick response and useful information. I guess if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is a duck, can be neatly applied to the clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease. I...
Hello, I have been poorly for 7 weeks in a variety of ways which all point, in my head at least, to Lyme disease but I am concerned that I am too convinced that it must be Lyme and that this is...
