Do any of you get little cyst like balls under the surface of your skin?
I was rubbing my tummy when I was laying down last evening, and felt these cyst like balls. DH felt them too and thought they were wierd.
They didn't feel like regular adapost tissue (nice word for fat) but round. I also felt some on my leg.
They don't hurt. So I thought maybe they were the Cyst form of the Lyme bacteria.
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.
Love, Light, & Healing, Yemaya

Cyst forms of Lyme are microscopic in size. Cysts can be caused bt lyme and bartonella.

good info tree. I agree, these are not the Cyst forms of Lyme, but certainly can be caused by Lyme.
However, it is theoretically possible to get a biopsy and find through microscopy that your cyst includes within some cystic forms of Lyme, but thats about the most legitamate way I can concieve that these cysts you are referring to could be related to cyst forms of Borrelia Burgdorferri

I had a ton of those cysts you describe under the surface of my skin. They were just about the last symptoms of the illness to go away as I got better. The other lingering symptom was the burning itch, that and the cysts you describe slowly disappeared together.

I had a lipoma removed from my stomach area BEFORE I was diagnosed with lyme. Doc biopsied it and said it was "benign". I now have them all over my forehead and side of my skull.
