Hi there. I've started having spots all over my body, even my feet, that feels like it is bruised even though there is nothing there. Is this normal to lyme? Thanks for your input [Roll Eyes]

I'm not sure...but could it be ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER??

I'll try and dig up the link to that one for you...

I recently got bitten by a Lonestar tick april29, I have not shown any spots.but I do believe that spots all over are consistant with RMSF.

be right back with links..

how do you feel otherwise??

Not literal "spots", but places, points of pain that do not hurt unless you touch them.

I asked a similar question not too long ago...does this sound like it could be a possibility?

BTW, the actual bruises never did show up. I only had the pain without the marks.

My best,

Thank you! But I don't know if I have Babs yet, still waiting for IgenX results. I am IgM positive. Haven't started any meds yet because I am going to be in a medical study in June.

All my LLMD suggested, until we start, was to double the dosage of my Klonapin... helps with pain somewhat, and helps me sleep as a result. I also take 1/2 pill of Flexeril for sleep as welll.

So I don't know if what you went through is the same thing [confused]
