I started symptoms in July 09. ELISA was negative.

Continued to have symptoms... Rebitten 2 more times. 1 in April 10 and May 10.

The new bites WILL NOT heal! I keep scratching and scratching. I started breaking out with rashes 2 months ago where the 2 bites were.

I read that from scratching you can get a bacteria infection?

My PCP does not think the rash is caused from the tick bites.

I disagree, the rash started in the bitten areas and now it is on my chest and arms.

Help???!!!!!

ELISA is a crapshoot. 50/50 at best.

You are right to disagree with this doctor.

Have you posted in "Seeking a Doctor" to find a LLMD in your area?

Toxic mold was suppressing our immune systems, causing extreme pain, brain fog and magnifying symptoms. Four days after moving out, the healing began.

I recently tested positive. 10 bands reactive for IGG and 3 reactive for IGM.

I did post and received a lot of information.

I emailed a doctor today with hopes to see them soon!

Might as well look for a more intelligent PCP also!

Any idea what that rash would be? Or what I can do in the meantime?

Does it look like any of these?

http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&biw=848&bih=486&q=lyme+rash&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g3&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

I googled lyme rash in google images.

If it does, count over and down saying which one it looks like.
