One of my major symptoms is bladder pain. The odd thing is, I always have air associated with it (air after urination).
I have had every test possible to rule out fistula, and have been told the only other thing that can cause air are certain rare types of bacteria.
So my question is, does anyone know if Lyme or any of its co-infections can be gas-creating bacteria?
Edited to add: I have never tested positive for any type of bladder infection (even with culture) and have had two negatice cystoscopies, and have been told i do NOT have IC.
Thanks
Kristen

I haven't heard of "Air" associated, but I know bladder problems are a tremendous problem for many Lyme patients, including myself. I have hesitency, difficulty urinating, pain sometimes, constant "need" to go -- it's a pain in the .......bladder. Hehe

Hi Kristen -
I'm also going to my first LLMD appt in May, so I'm certainly no expert.
There are so many different symptoms that seem to pop up with Lyme that I wouldn't doubt it could be the problem.
