this may sound strange as i thought these little red boinky dots all over my legs and chest were "cherry angiomas". which is what the doc always told me, yeah right?

well i thought they were strictly babesia. but can they be bart or just plain ole lyme also??

anyway, maybe my eyes are going bad or something, but i swear that those dots are my legs are getting smaller or disappearing...

could be psychcosomatic i guess... cause after being on treatment since the 15th, surely they wouldn't start going away this soon, would they??

i mean they will go away eventually won't they?

I don't know if they go away. I have them but guess what? I know several people who do not have lyme that have these.

So... perhaps it has nothing to do with lyme and friends.

Hard for us to believe everything isn't related to it I know, but maybe they're not [Wink]

at my appointment he sent me for bloodwork and they took about 5 vials. i think he's redoing the igenex test (which was originally done back in 05), and for co-infec. also for hormone levels, throid, etc.

i'm not quite sure. you know it's so hard to remember at these appointments and i was overwhelmed.

i'm going to find out on the 15th of july.

i'm just thanking the lucky stars that i found him and he believes me enough to even test.
