Lyme Disease Support Group

I vaguely remember it happening once or twice before I found out about lyme, but since then it's been more frequent.

Sometimes if I run my hands under cold water, it seems to help.

I'm not in pain or anything, but it's just a funky feeling.

Also I would like to add, though it has nothing to do with the post, I am tired of people saying that all the lyme doctors are doing is stealing money from people.

I hate that. No, they are trying to help us, where the mainstream medical world has failed us.

But I guess it just goes to show the ignorance that people have towards lyme.

haha sorry needed to get that off my chest.

Literally I would heat up the wall within a minute or so...so much so that you could touch it and feel it hot. This has come and gone as an adult. But yes...

23 & 41 for me too

Its really odd because his whole body will be cold as a pickle but his feet will be hot.

But maybe he feels cold because he keeps the blanket off, even when it is freezing in the house he kicks his blanket off.

Feet werent as bad. After two days of pain, they started to itch horribly. Now the skin on my fingers and palms is peeling off... really gross. It's like they were actually burned!

I just kept putting them under cold water as often as possible. I hope you feel better!

Bartonella is known for causing hot feet. I had this literally every afternoon before I treated Bart. It would feel like the bottoms of my feet were on fire. I would definitely have this coinfection checked.

You never know if these infections are 100% gone...but I believe that I am dealing with Lyme now. I used to have pain in my feet, burning in my feet...that is all gone now...

My bloodwork for Bart is very negative- and it used to be positive. The only think that still keeps coming up positive is Lyme and I'm having more trouble getting rid of this it seems.

I think it really depends upon the bacterial load that you have of each. I was diagnosed about 6 months after my tickbite...and 4 months after symptoms started...

The burning feet sensations started at the end of January 09 for me and I was on abx within 2 weeks. Possibly I didn't have a large load of Bart if it did indeed clear quickly - 3 months of Rifampin.

Hope you and your family starts feeling better soon.

which lab is the best place to test for these co-infections? Does it matter as much as the lyme test to use a certain lab?
