Lyme Disease and Uterine Infection

[Deligirl1]

Hello, have an odd question.  Prior to being diagnosed with Lyme Disease I was dealing with the possibility of Uterine/Endometrial cancer.  Ultrasounds found fluid in my endometrial canal and I had a bad infection in my uterus. Dr. was really concerned and tsaid the fluid many times means cancer.  It took 3 weeks for the results to come back. Thankfully the Biopsy came back and no precancerous cells, no cancer.  Put me on two antibiotics for the infection of which now I cannot take due to Doxy.  BUT, 4 days after the results came back I found my rash.  I had been extremely tired, with other symptoms, now knowing it was from the lyme, not cancer. I have to wonder could there be some sort of correlation?  Could Lyme have caused the infection and possibly the fluid?  I know this is out there, but what if there were other people that have experienced the same thing-we don't know until we ask and think out of the box sometimes.  Thanks for any feedback.  And no-my head is not foggy today-actually pretty clear  ha ha

thank you.  I actually feel very confident in my current dr. I have only been dealing with this for a few weeks now and with everything I have been reading she is right on target with Lyme Diet, what I should NOT be eating/drinking etc.  What I need to ADD to my diet.  And if you can believe it she is my gynecologist, who has been working with lyme disease and treatments for years.   I am very lucky to not have to go through what others on the forum have had to do, traveling and waiting-just horrible for them.  Timing is so important, there should be a level of urgency for Lyme patients, as well as "suspected" Lyme patients.   I have been going in for Methyl B12 shots for some of my discomfort and facial numbness issues.  I may end up going in for a HERX shot later today-over the past week I have had times of feeling rather cranky, "out of my skin", and find myself crying over nothing-during my episode my husband and I just have to laugh(sadly) because I am crying(weeping) over nothing-it just hits me, and here come the waterworks.....

Are you seeing a good lyme doc? If not, perhaps you should consider finding a doctor who is part of ILADS. There is a Seeking a Doctor section on lymenet.org. They also have a large community where you can share your story...under Medical Questions.

best to you, and read all you can about Lyme Disease.
