My name is Mark and i live in Glasgow, Scotland.My intro...Hope its not too long!

After a year of Feeling pretty rotten.Strange sensation on right side of body, pins and needles type, face twitching, stiff neck and knees, ringing in ear etc......

Bout month before started feeling odd had a red raised lump removed from my right arm.Was told it Was a "pseudolymphoma".Nothing to worry about.

In october 07 had another removed from right shoulder, this time after must discussion with experts was diagnosed with :

"Cutaneous Marginal zone B cell Non Hodgkins lymphoma"

My lymphoma doctor told me there was some association between this rare lymphoma and Borrelia Burgdorferi( lyme disease).Cases of Lymes have increased 300 percent in north of scotland(where i have worked on and off for 10 years).

So basically i have tested negative for both strains/ american and Scottish european but my doctor thought it best i have three weeks of IV antibiotics, as Blood tests may not pick it up.

I started on Monday with a picc line and would love to feel some sort of improvement(specially with tiredness).

Sorry this is so long.

Anyone here have the Cutaneous lymphoma? or tested negative but had benefit through IV anti biotics?

thanks for listening.
