MY 10 year old has been off treatment for nearly 3 mos. He's had some symptoms (muslce pain chest wall), and heel spurs.
I took him last month took him to the opthomologist and
she saw a brown spot on his cornea. She wanted to see him back in a month. We went
back and now he has multiple small spots in both eyes. Have to go back
in 2 weeks and she said she'll give him steroid drops - she's very open to the
positive ANA, elevated CPK abd lyme. Took him to his llmd doc Friday and took many
vials of blood, to see what shows up, put him back on treatment or see whatever is
irregular. I know iritis can be caused by autoimmune illness (thryoid, rheumatoid
arthritis, ...) can be just an infection but with his bloodwork indicates more is going
on. Did anyone have iritis with lyme?
Also, I'm on 300mg. mino a day - am on anafranil for ocd and xanax till the
anafranil kicks in. I thought it kicked in until the last two days, fragmented
thoughts.depersonalization back, concept of time messed up...under much stress though
with my son, moving and having to get rid of my dog of 8 years that we've had since shes as puppy
due to allergies and the move. Since minocycyine, I feel as if my wrists have
burns like when you were younger they would say "indian burns". Neck creeks and cracks,
and the regular pains that I get from my lyme...Results aren't always accurate, but
still have a positive 18, 39 and 93 from Igenex in the igm, an irregular spect scan
My heart meds and psych meds just cover up the symptoms, not get rid of the cause. Has
anyone taken minocycline to rid of the lyme (low igg to bart and ehrlichiosis) or just
used as maintenance? Just started that last week again after a 5 week break after 6 mos
of rocephin. Due for my monthly cycle next week and symptoms always get worse during
that time. I thank God he gave me a few decent days last week. Some don't even get
that. My heart stuff gets crazy during this time, through the toprol (beta blocker).
thanks for your input.
good health,
Cigi
