That's odd. I'm on the most recent Safari version (iphone) and it doesn't appear. I guess it needs a plugin or something.

Many years ago my son had an oval red rash (not a bulls'-eye) on his thigh with many mosquito bites (no ticks). It took six years just to find out what was wrong with him! Turns out that rash was a form of the bull's-eye.
Your dear son needs to be evaluated a.s.a.p by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Read the books written by the top LLMD, Dr. H, titled, "Why Can't I Get Better?" and his new one, "How Can I Get Better?". They are an excellent source of information.
Read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Get it at your local library or buy it used on Amazon.
I truly appreciate you taking time out of your day to give me such detailed information. Truly
I did bring him to the doctor this evening. I was sent away told to wait and see. I showed her the pic, told her it was about 24 hrs abd said he was fatigued today. Wants a fever chills achiness etc before amid.
unfortunately with a two yr old the only solid measure is a fever. Everything else is hard to say considering he doesn't speak clear sentences. Uh
Call the LLMDs I sent you and get him in to whichever one can take him first (call every day if you have to!).
Btw - I know you are new to Lymenet, but please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme.
To do this click the pencil/paper icon, make your changes, then click "Edit Post". Thanks.

We are heading to the doc again today so I'm hoping they will start amox on him .
The lymph node in his neck where he was bit is visibly swollen.
I've read that is a early sign of Lyme. I just hope they don't pull the "welllll lymph nodes could be anything"

Sorry to hear that . Were you able to get your child to a LLMD?
Babesiosis and Anaplasmosis are some of the co-infections which come with Lyme.

Microti is a strain of babesiosis. It is the typical east coast strain.
See page 22 and following of Burrascano Guidelines to learn about this disease and its treatment.
Anaplasma is discussed on page 25.
The chances are you son also has bartonella. Nearly everyone who has babesiosis and anaplasma also has lyme and bartonella. It seems that the east coast ticks carry all of these diseases nearly all of the time.
