Just had ET on tonight,some old frriend says now Anna Nichole Smith, yep the one thats on half the day on the tube,,,had "lupus" since about 1998.
They rattles off a whole string of sxs she had and they read like who's who of lyme. We all know lyme and lupus are kissing cousins. Could it be????

Dear Don,
How very interesting....I just thought she was stoned all the time by her speech patterns.
Maybe it was Lyme........
Still, how sad for her baby. If it was Lyme, couldn't that baby be at risk?

I feel like I'm seeing it every where I look. At first I thought it was just my newly diagnosed paranoia, and that I would get over it. I haven't gotten over it.
I do think its everywhere. Perhaps the insurance companies do have a clue, and that's why there is so much resistance to diagnosis and treatment. It would be like an endless Katrina for them.

Absolutely!! You're hitting the nail right on the head. Where would the medical schools, pharmaceutical industry and the insurance companies be if there were no more lyme?

Considering she had breast implants I'm not surprised if she was diagnosed with lupus. Implants seem to be the implicated causing agent in a lot of lupus cases.

lupus would have the butterfly red cheeks....but this also happens in Lyme...so who knows?
The area she grew up in Texas definitely has Lyme.

Yep, from what I have read so far is"You 'HAVE' to have the butterfly rash with raised edges"
We all know ducks who claim we have to have a bullseye rash too,,,and like alot of us dont,,,so is this the same thing or different????
I was truely amazed at all the 'lyme' symptoms they named off so quickly. Just wish I KNEW somebody close enough to get correct info to proper person!! And yes,,if thats the case the baby is at risk!!!
Something gave me a hunch, back when her son died and the baby was born,,,dont know what it was back then,,,but something made me feel something was not right here. course it is easier to be NOT right if you are heavy into recreational drugs,,,of which we will probably never know.
I am sure she self medicated herself to oblivian some how!! PLUS all the depression of losing her son after the baby was born,,,had to be VERY stressful.

JD: Who was she 'with' back around 1997 or 1998??
I'm guessing it was the millionare she took to the cleaners, nothing Hollywood about him though! Are you asking who she was Reeaally with? Don't know, probably many.
I think Acorn's right--Silicone was her problem--and she had a lot of it, meoooow
my symptoms were the butterfly rash on face and POSITIVE ANA.

My bet is on this being misdiagnosed 'lyme'. She went to all the ducks too and got the standard answer, "we dont have lyme HERE!!" You obviously have 'lupus'.
I never ever saw a butterfly rash or scar on her nose and cheeks. With her money I am sure she would have had them removed or 'doctored' up
Only way to 'know' would be to talk to all involved with her and see if they ever saw the famous ringed'spider bite' all the drs claim 'it' is!!
I dont think her mother would 'know' since they were estranged. Unless from early childhood.
Her present lawyer friend wasnt with her that long.
Her former elderly husband is dead.
I guess we shall never know. I tire of all the constant press on her,,,but feel sorry,so sorry if it was undiagnosed lyme and we didnt help her sooner.
Unfortuantely there are so many people crushing the famous people they have to 'hide' and 'hire' body guards for safety,,,in other words they are untouchable by mere mortals!!
Why oh why didnt they spout off her symptoms sooner, while she was still alive??? What is her attorney, present boyfriends name,,,the one raising the baby right now??? Spose he is accessible??? HOW would YOU contact HIM???being--just don--

Babesiosis can be found in Texas cattle. Maybe she ate too many old steeres?
