Hello, my name is Lynne and I am new to this site. My wonderful daughter who attends school in NY researched the web due to her concerns regarding my consistent medical problems. I was finally diagnosed with LD in Dec04 after my neurologist could not explain why I had one lesion on my brain in Dec03 and as of Nov04 now have 8. He kept rejecting my suggestion of LD due to other symptoms that I was dealing with. Finally I went to a lyme literate doc in Kenett Square, PA who has been treating me for LD. He is absolutely wonderful - - Dr. F.
My daughter recommended this site so that I would have something to do during my 2 -3 am wake up time. Beyond the everchanging symptoms I face each day, I was wondering if anyone else has suffered from a similar rash (which began in 8/04). I have done everything I can think of it relieve it. It started out as small bumps which itch constantly and are confined to my scalp and back. They eventually turn into scabs. I would really appreciate any feedback from someone else who has encountered this. Thanks and god bless you all that suffer from this horrible disease.; Lynne

Hi Lynne, you'll have many more responses if you post this over in "Medical Questions".
As far as the rash.......it's certainly not uncommon among posters on this board. My son has accasional rashes, they flare, and then recede. Post in medical and you'll get many opinions on this.

I had unbelievable horrible rashes years ago that an allergist gave me steriods(poison) for. I've also had painful hives which I've gone to the er for.
