all posters,
this is the info we need from EACH of you when you START YOUR OWN "NEW POST"...found in small black/white box at top/bottom....
1. is this for yourself or CHILD, WHAT AGE? important!!
2. what symptoms are you having?
3. do you have/did have BULLS-EYE RASH?
4. what lyme tests have you had done??
ELISA, WESTERN BLOT IGM AND IGG and WHAT LAB performed them???
please copy these 4 questions to your post and answer each of them.
please break up your text into SHORT PARAGRAPHS vs. posting one super-long block paragraph that we can NOT comprehend or read!
TRIPLE SPACE between each paragraph is helpful for us neuro lyme folks to comprehend/read ... big thanks!
********************
Welcome; i'm so glad you found us!! You've come to the right place for education and support!
Dr. Burrascano's most recent "Diagnostic Hints and Treatment Guidelines for Lyme and Other Tick Borne Illnesses" @ http://www.ilads.org/burrascano_0905.html suggests that you discuss with your doctor continuing treatment until you are symptom free for 2 months.
please see BettyG's newbie package info on the link below; click on link at bottom of my package. Check it out as time permits for you! @ http://tinyurl.com/58eyou
Fyi: we have over 1000 viewers daily; 200 - 400 posting/replying; so specific titles get our time/replies. non-specific ones, i sob, scroll on by!
Also, please be very specific in the subject line what you will be discussing so more people will be able to assist you.
***************
please go to my newbie links, copy the entire thing, and then print this off....
financial burdens compiled by melanie reber pages 74 - 92; outstanding info there.
also in my table of contents, for FINANCIAL BURDENS, i believe there are a few more general comments there without links!! print that off too as it's newer info from members thru their own personal, tragic experiences. thoughts and prayers headed your way..
Betty's POSTING GUIDELINES
When you post or reply, please break up your solid, continuous block text welcome to the board! many of us have neuro lyme where we can NOT read long solid block text and be able to comprehend and read it as is.
please edit your post by CLICKING PAPER/PENCIL ICON to right of your name. that opens up BOTH subject line and body text.
now please break up your WORDY SENTENCES into one sentence paragraphs. Then hit ENTER KEY ``THREE`` after each paragraph; we need that space for comprehension.
if you are NOT a wordy person, you can do 2 or 3 total ok. do this for your entire post.
NOTE: you do NOT have to use "", just show the name of person you are responding to, and then type your comment.
IF you need to use "", PLEASE DELETE "BOLD" CODES so it's regular type text we read vs. the DARK, HARSH/PAINFUL BOLDING.
specifically, delete the first 4 characters of 2ND LINE of a ""
[QB] just delete these 4 characters, and BOLDING is GONE! my eyes will really appreciate that; it's one very bad side effect of my having lyme for 38.5 years!! xox
then go to left hand corner and mark box to receive ALL REPLIES, and click EDIT SEND
we thank you for helping us; otherwise, we will SOB, SCROLL ON BY, since we can't read to help you. If I see posts like this, I SOB them; to hard on me.

1. is this for yourself or CHILD, WHAT AGE? important!! This is for my mother. Age 75.
2. what symptoms are you having? Lots of symptoms starting in August with knee pain. Was thought to be rheumatoid arthritis and she was put on prednisone. Since then she has become worse and worse with heart arythemia, headaches, nausea, dizziness, double vision. Every test has come back negative. She has had 2 lyme tests and both were negative but she was on prednisone at the time.
3. do you have/did have BULLS-EYE RASH? No rash.
4. what lyme tests have you had done??
ELISA, WESTERN BLOT IGM AND IGG and WHAT LAB performed them???
I don't know what type. She has been tested twice. Once in Kittery and once at Mass General. Both were negative but she was taking steroids at the time.
please copy these 4 questions to your post and answer each of them.
