Cronic Lyme

[mojogal]

I have had an elevated white blood count and sed rate for over 6 months. I have had every blood and urine test all negative but I kept getting worse. I have a friend in another state where I use to live that thinks I have Cronic lyme disease. She has it and works for a doctor who specializes in it. I have lost 25 lbs and can't eat unless I take pain meds and nausea pills. I get pain in the left side and middle side of my stomach. The question I have is that I have developed red blotches in many places on my breasts after a simple breast needle biopsy. They don't itch but it looks like they will scar. Some are a quarter size and others a dime size.
I have developed type 2 Diabetes and take insulin now, which I never had before and other problems have come up. if you have any any answers or ideas on what this is, I would appreciate it..

Thanks Jackie.
Since taking the "Lyme Antibiotc" by mouth, my white cell count came down to normal range, first time in 6 mos. Since it was determined that I also have an ulcer from an ERCP that was done, and none of the two GI doctors I saw mentioned this, or my PC, but, my best friend who has had bleeding ulcers, told me about a prescription pill that coats your stomach. For the first time in 6 months I was able to eat better plus a salad without pains. I was craving a vegetable for so long. My nurse friend has seen it affect so many parts of the body, it is really scary. It started to affect my nervous system, my hands go numb on a off. So this is just the start of a long journey.

Thanks Jackie, I found a LLMD in FL where I am moving to in a few months, who understands. I spoke to her nurse already by phone and was happy to hear she is very informed and does the same things that my friend;s Doc in VA is going doing. With all these symptoms happening within 6 mos, I thought I was going to die since I couldn't eat and lost so much weight. My friend, who is also a nurse and has it says that is not unusual. She told me to start on doxycolyne (sp?) as a good start, which my doc here in Texas gave me and then once they find our what the co infection is, when I get to FL. I will be given others.
The website is lymeassociation.org for anyone that wants to learn more.

Welcome.  I'd suggest you find a Lyme specialist and get an appointment.  

If you search/google texas lyme, you'll find lots of leads to locating a Lyme specialist, which you'll see patients refer to as LLMDs, or Lyme-Literate MD, meaning a doc who thinks bigger thought about Lyme than regular docs.  It's not an official designation, tho, just patient slang.

Let us know how you do, okay?  Best wishes --
