MORE LESIONS pre antibiotics

Well thats weird. I havent started my antibiotics yet because of my bad cold and yesterday i felt ill like i do when i am having a flare (MS or Lymes flare)....and got the tingling in my body, back and above my left kidney, then the pain, and the lesions came 2 of them...1 really painful and sore, just like a cat sratch again.....

Not sure what is going on..could this be a flare because of the cold etc? I am wondering if i should ring my GP.

It is sore this morning too....the biggest of the lesions is about 2 inches again like a scratch...and a small one above.

Hi rico i am ringing her tomorrow as she doesnt work monday and tuesday. I have photos.

Its still really sore.

Its funny you mention 4 week cycles because way before this started i kept saying to my GP i its almost like i am having periods again, because every 4 weeks i get ill feel bad etc...its true, and actually have this in writing from my doctors notes....so you might have something there.

And yes it is still on a 4 week roughly...I still feel rough today.

I will see what she suggests tomorrow. I just dont think i could cope with herx and colds, and eveything else right now lol.

It could be a symptom flare.  Lyme especially goes in a 4 week cycle, with the 4th week being the worst.  I didn't notice a 4 week cycle until after I started treatment.

It is also possible that your infections are taking advantage of the fact that you are fighting a virus. I would think that starting antibiotics might help, but then I am not a doctor and I don't know. A herx on top of a cold might get ugly.

The lesions sure sound like Bart again. Be sure to take pictures of them so you can show your docs.  Make sure there is something in the picture to give you a sense of size. You could put a measuring tape or ruler next to the lesion, or a small coin, something recognizable.

Sorry you're feeling crummy!  I hope you can get on with the meds soon!
