I would like to hear how people not knowing they

had lyme while starting a family and finding

out years later that they in fact do and that

it was passed to their children.

What led to their diagnose of having lyme

disease?

Does there seem to be a common pattern of

symptoms that they all seem to have?

Thanks for any help

I have two children with congenital Lyme.

I didn't even think to look for it until my husband and myself were diagnosed.

One child had fatigue, joint pain, and odd symptoms like feeling like she was shaking but she wasn't.

Symptoms I could easily relate to.

My other child was slow developmentally for physical milestones.

His pinnas of his ears would turn fire engine red.

He had more subjective symptoms for sure.

Both babies had colic and I nursed both of them.

My son ( with the subjective symptoms) had more positive bands on the WB via Igenex than any one else in our family.

So....I did a pretty good search for Lyme symptoms in infants and toddlers...

I posted it a couple of years ago.

It may shed some insight.

Hugs,
