Hi Everyone,

At the top of my head I have like pimple water blisters. I was wondering if this is a lyme SX your something else. I have been treatment for lyme for nearly 2 years. I just started Cipro, I sure hope it helps.
I appreciate your wisdom. Much Love, Roz

On your HEAD?

OH MY!

[lol]

JUST KIDDING!!!

Are the bumps really tiny and on your forehead...

Or are they under the hair line on the scalp?

Either way.. but more so if tiny and on the forehead... could be Bartonella. Cipro hits Bartonella pretty good.

OR.. this could be a virus of some sort... a herpes virus??

BUT.. I am not a doctor... sorry.

You might want to check with the doctor on this.

Good luck!!!

I've had, and still have itchy areas on my head and have had some success treating my scalp with topical antibiotics.

I've used artemesinin gel, ozonated olive oil, Flagyl cream and Venex (bee venom) ointment. I've also done Farah's essential oils in the past, but ran out.

I massage the cream/ointment into my scalp and try to treat all of it. Since it's right next to the brain, I think it's possible that the bugs have worked their way out of the brain and into the scalp.

That's just my opinion, but I can tell you that I herx heavily after massaging the creams into my scalp, and the itchiness has gotten less and less. At the LDA conference in SF, one of the speakers told us that his research showed that the greatest concentration of Bb he found were in the skin. So think about it.

You may want to make sure it's not an ADR to Cipro. The drugs in that family can cause some very severe ones.

Patti,


You are absolutely right. They are parasitic worms. Check out www.lymephotos.com they talk about a worm exiting the scalp.


I have had this, and it is clearing up after two yrs on salt/c. People refer to this as Morgellons.......but Morgellons is Lyme(same thing)

You are very intuitive,


Gael

Tincup,

You have a great sense of humor. That was very funny. We have to laugh in the midst of this nightmare.

Hi Folks,

Thanks so much for your help. These are like small water blisters, they cause like a burning pain.

I have just gotten through with comrehensive stool testing I game out neg. for ova and any parasites. If I have worms would's it of showen up?

I was bite 8 years ago and wasn't given enough
antibiotics at the time. It was a Rhuemy. MD that first told me I had lyme. I am R/A positive

I have a wonderful lyme MD. they found out I have an infection called Proteus Mirabilis from what I have read a bit on it it can go to sepsis. But I haven't read anything about a water type blister with it.

I hope this is not the return of Bart. I was on Gentaminacin, Vanco, and Rocephin. I really don't know too much, but I know I cannot take another needle. I was to out of it with I V's at times. Th

I have been with out a commupter the last year as well.

Thanks soo much for all your help. I really appreciate it. Much Love, Roz

I don't think I have worms coming out, but I do think that at our level of chronic infection, our bacteria load is so high that spirochetes and cyst, blebs, are literally coming out of our skin and manifesting as multiple and various skin ailments.

Patty,

Thanks so much for your help. I think an antibiotic cream could really help. I am going to give it go. To fight it at all angles really makes sense. Love, Roz

Are you being.. or were you recently bitten by anything?

Bartonella can cause this type of little bumps. Hope it is not. But do check it out.

And I understand... I don't want THAT infection again either!

Drats!

Let us know if you find out.

Feel better too!

Evgen,

Your ignorance and negativity will be your downfall.

I will be laughing myself to health. Kinda like laughing all the way to the bank.


Try and contribute something positive if you can.

Gael

When I was on long term antibiotics, I developed a staph infection on my scalp, but didn't know it. The antibiotics suppressed it until I stopped them. Turned out to be a staph infection resistant to most antibiotics. I realize, now, that I tend to break out on my scalp. If the conditions are wrong/right, those break outs can become infected with staph, causing me great trouble. My suggestion is to go to a dermatologist and have them culture the lesions and do a sensitivity (so you know what will kill the germs if there are any).

Lyme is like the flu. You can get it and recover, but you can always get it again.

Try Coconut oil on your head and your body..
It is amazing what coconut can do for your skin...

Get rid of all man made cooking oils. Veggie oils are toxic....

Use only coconut, olive, and natural animal fat oils for cooking....
Coconut oil is the best of all and it tastes good.
Coconut oil boosts the immune system....
