i have been watching a friend get sick for years. her symptoms are so classic lyme (tbd) - but she is in total denial. she has these red splotches on her face in a very distinctive pattern. they are about 1/2 in circumference and there are two near her cheek bone and then more go down in a semi circular pattern...almost looks like a tail. they are different sizes-but red...and have gotten redder recently.
today i saw another person in our area with the same thing. it's different than roseola-or however you spell that. kind of the shape of a 7 ...not a whole circle or oval filled in with the red
anyway..any one know about this?
i see so many sick people around me...but they are all so sure they don't have lyme cuz the doc said their test was neg. gees... when will the word get out?
i think they don't listen to me cuz now i'm the di sabled one and no one wants to do what i did cuz they might end up like me (i know my kids feel that way)
what they don't know is so many who got sick back when i did have passed or are in nusing homes. i feel blessed i am still living independently
so anyway---anyone know what the red splotches are???

Sounds like classic Lupus rash, often is described as "butterfly shaped." It is found on the face.
