I post on the Lyme Disease forum...but I have a question. I had a rash in Aug of 2004 and had not been tested for Lyme until a couple of months ago. Western blot was IgM positive, with P41 and P23 bands and IgG negative, only showing P41 bands. I was treated first course of doxy and then went to an Infectious Disease doctor..who looked at the blood work and said I don't have Lyme. I picked up my medical records yesterday from 2004-current (there were ALOT of dr. visits). My main complaint since at least 2003 was fatigue and constipation. I was apparently diagnosed with Raynaud's Syndrome and have Cardia Tachy and PVCs from a Holtor test I had done in 2003. I was supposed to follow up and do a DEXA scan for osteoporosis and arthritis, but I never did. I know the Lyme Western blot is possible to cross-react with other immune disorders...and after looking at my records, I am afraid I may have Lupus...or am I just completely freaking out for no reason? What are the other indications that you saw when you were being diagnosed? I have plenty of symptoms that point to Lyme, but could also be other things. Please help! |
