I know the Lyme bacteria can form themselves into a cyst shape. But, what I'm wondering is if a symptom of Lyme is the formation of physical cysts in the body. I've got a (newer) cyst on my ribs. Getting it checked out by docs, but wondering your thoughts.
Thanks.

I have 3 knots on right side of my face , one on left neck and today a new 1 on right arm .
The older ones are starting to go away . they are just knots or lumps under the skin , sometimes they itch like crazy and leak a little fluid at times .
Any idea what this sounds like ? haven't gone to Dr. just figured they were a gift from lyme and friends .

I would like to know, too. I have 2 small cysts on each kidney and I believe it is Lyme, but I don't really know.

liz,
You know your adrenals sit on top of the kidneys?
They are shaped like ovals.
