I was just wondering if someone could please answer this question: Last wednesday I went to my doctor because I have been experiencing very bad headaches/migraines for the past year (ever since I started birth control). She did a blood test and today told me that everything came back normal but that it showed in the past I have had lymes disease. I was shocked because to my knowledge I have had no symptoms that I could think of and have never been treated for it. Is this something I should worry about? DO alot of people know they don't have lymes and it goes away on its own. Supposedly I dont have it now. Thanks for any information. I just don't want something terrible happen to me 10 years down the road because I never got treated for lymes disease.

Hi Mel and Welcome to Lymenet. I just read your other post about yeast. I would read all the links Lymetoo gave you and listen to her advise.

Good luck to you.

Good evening Mel,

I haven't read your other post yet, but wanted to pass on to you some good information about migraines in general. Perhaps this will help some.

Just to share my own experience with this symptom...it was one of the first to show up for me after contracting Lyme, CO Tick fever, and now Bartonella.

I dealt with this for many years...nothing would touch this symptom for me until recently when I began taking an Rx specifically for inflamation in the brain.

I do hope that you pursue a lyme posibility, especially if teat results came back showing that 'you have been exposed'!

My very best,
Melanie

Hi Mel,

Consider yourself privileged for detecting evidence of Lyme via a blood test, if the test was not erroneous, that is. It's typically a very elusive pathogen to detect via the common methods.

I have read in the literature of how many folks have shown evidence of previous Lyme encounters, yet have not developed any symptoms or may not even recall being bitten by a tick. Perhaps it depends on the status of the individual's immune system, the duration of the tick bite etc. Do you or have you lived in a tick-infested area?

Kind regards,

Colin {RainmakeR}
