Hey all,
Has anyone else here with Lyme suffered mottled skin, especially the hands? at first it was just pain, then came the mottling and discoloration of the hands, blue/grey/dark red, etc. The mottling looks like some sort of terrible blood or nerve restriction but a vascular surgeon told me my circulation is great. What gives? what about the infection causes this? This with the pain is almost too much to handle.

Thanks, I didn't know that was a known symptom. I had some othe rnon-Lyme literate docs and therapists tell me it may just be a restriction somewhere. I say it is Lyme or a co-infection. I guess it can get worse under treatment during a herx.

I have had this in my hands for several yrs. As I am getting rid of the parasites/worms, bb and other pathogens in the small intestine it is getting way better.

Looks like you're treating for Babesia?
Yes, my doc said it could be Bart as well. Did you read that abour Bart? We haven't started that yet - only Babesia and Lyme thus far.
So Gael, how to get rid of the parasites/worms?

I am using the salt/c protocol (sea salt) that has worked quite well. Richidie, I thought I had given you this info before, but here it is if I didn't

Oh yes, it just worries me because of all the salt. Also, I know Vitamin C can interfere with abx absorption! My doctor said my blood pressure is really low and asked me to add salt to my diet. So, a few times a day I take a 1/4 tsp of Sea Salt. Are there better brands???

Is it possible this is caused by Bartonella and since we haven't started treating that......it is still a big problem? My biggest curent problem is pain in the back, shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, and mottling in that hand! Almost seems like a restriction somehwere! Maybe Lyme can cause muscle tightness, pinched nerves, blood vessels, tight fascia, etc.

Well I am back on Ceftin and start Levaquin(sp) next week for Bart. I am told I have to watch exercise due to possible tendon issues with taking this abx. I am hoping this is what knocks out my Bart and finally gives me some relief to my arm pain and blue/mottled hands.
