Just a quick question for anyone out there who might have experienced this.. My husband has had 2 macular bleeds within a few years and is only 42, the doctors are kind of baffled by it... He was never officially diagnosed with lyme.. I have it though... I'm wondering if anyone with lyme has had this happen to them. Thanks for your input!

Whoa ! You have lyme, but your husband doesn't, and he has macular bleeding ?

Unless he sleeps in Guam and you in Rhode Island at night, or has taken a vow of celibacy at the monastery, I'd say there's a better than even chance he has lyme.

Just hang on, I'm sure you'll get some opinions on this, and definitely, somebody on here, as had this problem.

I realize that he probably does have lyme, but he is the in denial type... BUT the question was regarding the Macular bleeding.. his mom has something similiar, so I was thinking it could be congential and not lyme.... but wanted to see if anyone with lyme had this problem.. I know it can cause vision problems, I have had some small ones myself!
