Both my lower legs from about the knee to the ankle ( Calves ) have changed color slightly. I've lost a lot of leg hair there and when you look down at this section it appears white almost chaffed like. I get twitches there also ( and elsewhere ). A feeling like someone has a ace bandage on my leg also ( mostly left leg ). They feel weaker then they should also. Anybody ever hear of this???

Hi,

even if it`s not common in US, please consider this:

This variety of Lyme is common in Europe and difficult to treat in some cases [Frown]

WOW.........Not sure if that applies to me. I have not been in Europe. I was in the Bahamas a few years back. I do not have any bluish/red skin but some of the other symptoms sound like it. I have neuropothy type stuff going on. I', going to read it again.Thanks

I've observed similar but I've chalked it up to aging.
