Hello! I have been around here on and off. I have had lyme(and probably co-infections) for
years, but diagnosed in about 2002. I have been in treatment on and off, mostly on with something
for almost 20 years. I woke up this morning with a lace like rash on my left elbow. Very strange. I
do have pictures if I can figure out how to put them on here or send them. Just was wondering if
anyone knew what this is possibly. When I looked up "lace like rash" the closest it looked like was
fifth disease or livedo reticularis. I do not currently have a lyme doctor, but need one
desperately. I can't afford one right now as I am not able to work and am trying to get disability.
If anyone has any thoughts or information I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks Bartenderbonnie! I know I have lyme this is just a "new" rash I have never had. I didn't know if it was common in one co-infection or another. Imagine my surprise when I look at that
site you gave me the link to and see my daughter's pictures of her rash. I showed them to someone a
while ago locally I thought, but I could be mistaken. Strange to now see them up on that site
with all the others. She has went through so much in her life time dealing with lyme and co-
infections. As a mother I feel like a failure for not being able to protect her.
