I just posted my whole story in the welcome area if anyone is interested.

My questions are:

Has anyone tested negative initially? If so, how did you finally confirm your problems to be lyme disease?

Has anyone had a known tick bite that came to a pussey head?

Those who get the numbness, tingling and burning sensations, does it affect your ears, also?

Thanks for any replies!

Hi and Welcome:

If you go to "Profile" you can read my story. I was bitten at the end of july had over 6 test all NEGATIVE, in october sent my blood into ingenex for the western blot, came back POSITIVE.

For the numbness and tingling god I wish I had the answer I live with it every day since August. Burning went away after I was on the abx, I only lasted 2months on them as I'm allergic to most meds (Abx) so I'm trying the "NAtural Route"... However my lips burn at times and I get mild burning since being off abx. I put cool packs on my upper chest when the burning starts...I have no problems with my ears...

I'm sure someone will come along with an answer for you.

Lyme will not win, we will and we WILL…
