Weird shinny red spot dots all over my my legs. I was recently bit again last Dec dx Tularemia took Doxy for that having lucid dreaming where I am actually awake and talking to some one I thought was here. And now all these little tne kind of raised red shinny dote, they dont itch they are just there.
Dx with Hyperparathyroid 2 weeks ago I need surgery. Bad news is that it can cause depression suicide idealation ya like who needs more of that.
I know right. Oh and fatigue loss of appetite theres more. Its hard to keep them seperate from the Lyme..
I know I know wa wa wa blah blah BLAH...............
So what do you think the red spots are? Could it be from a co infection from last tic bite???

Sorry for any and all frustration. I'm only trying to get the word out about this multifaceted disease. That's all.

TC yes they are very similar to the pics. Closer to the first pic. The Hyperparathyroidism is causing a lot BS.< the swear word. I thought Lyme was bad this has really complicated my health. But it's curable. Not many diseases are curable.
This calcium level has been high for years. And some of the pain is the parathyroid. And the rest is Lyme. There are a whole lot of people need to get your calcium checked. It takes it from the bones causing bone loss. And joint pain and psychiatric depression etc...
I am not a Dr I am the Patient

When I said I couldn't "do" initials on another post recently- I wasn't thinking about swear words! I got it! HA!
The spots- often show up in those with Babesia and sometimes Bartonella. You might want to consider that could be the case ESPECIALLY before any surgery!!! You don't want any complications!!! Get tested if you will please. ASAP.
They also can appear to be like the spotted fever spots. Writing as I am thinking, so will add here, a full panel of tick borne disease testing should be done.
If you were my kid, that would be automatic- no questions asked.

Yes Lymetoo there's a couple controversial test. Blood tests consecutive high. Then the 24 hour urine collection that was fun Not.... Then the Sestimbi X-ray which is the controversial test. I'm having that done on Mon
I'm also having an EDG done due to can't swallow foods I used to be able to.
The last tic bite in Dec I believe had more than just Tularemia.
And TC I know I need to get the Babs and Bart test. It's trying to convince the Drs. I can't get to my Lyme Dr. I'm sleeping during the day hard to stay awake. And the insomnia has returned.
So with the last tic bite and high calcium I'm in a world of pain confusion more depressed and other things I won't talk about. It's already a known factor in the Lyme World. And now my feet ankles and legs are swollen.
I want to write a positive book and lots of humor. My last Lyme Dr visit I asked what these little BB sized LUMPS on my shin bone but you can move them a little hurts to push down. His answer. Are you guys ready. He said they were calcium deposits. That was the first week of Dec. before Bite. Before realizing what the high calcium was doing. I've had high calcium for seems like forever.
Then a couple of weeks ago when I was in so much pain I asked the Dr if he had done a T3 blood test. He ordered it and I went in for results. He had a determined look on his face I said what's going on.? He said I needed surgery.
So here I am still fighting. and fighting for the road ahead of me. Thanks for letting me share all this noise. I really don't know where I'd be if I didn't have all you guys. Big Group Hugs. Air Hugs.

Yesterday I had 4 different herxes. More depressing. I'm 85 pounds Drs want me to gain more weight due to surgery. I've been trying. But get this. Hyperparathyroidism causes loss if appetite. Just right up my luck.
