Is vasculitis a symptom of Lyme? My hands and feet turn bright red and my LLMD always comments about it I am not sure if he is equating it with Lyme or PLS.

Hi!

Yes it is. I had a serious event with vasculitis and the bracial (SP) artery in the arm....required hospitalization. Rocephin turned it around and I went home on the Rocephin.

To pursue documented info, go here:
Lymeinfo Home Page.....http://www.lymeinfo.net/index.html

Symptoms on the same site......http://www.lymeinfo.net/medical/LDSymptoms.pdf

What is PLS? And what does your LLMD have to say about the redness??

I still suffer from vasculitis. It usually occurs at night when I sleep, but it has gotten much better with abx.

Hi Disheartened,

Yes it is, many docs think its Lupus or Rosecea...(sp) I sent you a PM on HBOT and Lyme vasculitis.
