Hi Guys I'm back (atheana)
It has been quite awhile since I posted.

I have stopped my vitamin regime and my brain fog has come back big time.

I did the test for Hpu/Kpu, and they rec that I stop all vitamins. Anyway the good news is, it was negative.

I do have a question for all you knowledgeable people.

I am going in for surgery to have a biopsy done on a lump that has been in my groin for over a year. I just thought it was a swollen lymph node, but I feel it has been there too long.

I use to get lymphatic massages, but now it doesn't even drain.

My wbc and rbc are both low.I have a bloated stomach( I think candida)nausea, sweating and lower back pain.

went to the ER Tues with ab pain and vag bleeding (have not had period in 3 yrs. They said it was constipation.

It's amazing how all our test come back negative.

My question is. Should I go thru this biopsy or is it just another sym of Lyme?

I would also, like to thank all of the wonderful Lymies that put so much work into this web.

Whatever test you do, don't put off finding out what's going on. Not all symptoms are always Lyme. If it is, ok, but you need to be sure.

Thanks guys,
I have had a ultrasound of my groin region and a cs of my abdomin.
I have been reading up about biopsies and of course anything invasive is not the best way.

I don't know why he can't do a needle biopsy instead of having to cut me open. I did ask and I think he said he needs to get more tissue.


I have been off my feet for a few days and now I don't even need a pain med. The lups is still there.
I am so confused, but I suppose it will put my mind at rest.

I am pretty sure it will come back with nothing showing and the doc's will think I am a hypo.

Thanks again!
