***UPDATE*** I took my daughter to an appointment for a persistent sore throat and still having the swollen/tender lymph glands on her neck mentioned below.
They ran some blood work and "OH MY" they said she has mono and can't have any contact activity for 4-6 weeks. She will be devastated as she is a very active young girl (but she tires very easily).
After thinking about it I remembered that she was bitten by a tick 2 summers ago and was with me when I was bitten 3 years ago. My gut tells me this is probably more than just mono but. Is testing positive for mono a indication of a tick borne illness?
I know my thoughts are random and for that I apologize...I'm just worried.
Thanks for listening...Michele ************************************************
I'm trying not to panick but when I add up all the symptoms below from my previous post it leaves me wondering if I shouldn't get her in to see my llmd. I have a 9 yo daughter who has changed quite a bit over the last year. She has become attached to me and is constantly worrying about me forgetting to pick her up from somewhere (which I've never done), she's complaining about multiple symptoms (belly aches, being tired, swollen tender lymph nodes in her neck, scabby rash in her head, aches and pains).
Well, last night while we were watching tv together she looked up at me and asks me if I'm going to die and asks if LD can make you die.
I was afraid that she might have gotten bit when I did in 2007 but we didn't know it or that a tick bite she received in 2008 was now showing symptoms of LD.
I'm blessed to be able to work full time and usually make it to all of their functions (I just let the housework and other stuff go most of the time).
Anyone with children had this experience with worry? If so any suggestions you could offer to me yo help ease her fears would be much appreciated.
If you think ishould be worried about her health due to the complaints please let me know that too. It's just hard to know what's best.
Thanks all and have a blessed day.
I'm now thinking maybe she's ate up with worry about me and my illness.
I can understand your worry. I would take her complaints seriously.
You are a good Mom to be looking for answers.

My daughter has some of those symptoms and she has Bart too.
I agree with Dekrator.
Good luck and you are a good Mom to search for answers. I would see a LLMD.
Most pediatricians will say it is anxiety, they did this to us. Our daughter has Lyme, Bart, Erh,Myco P.

my 8 yr old is the same...worries, she has seen me in hospital 3 times since sept, unable to work....then my first LLMD visit (out of state!), she was upset before we left asking what if we get in a car crash and never come back. Then on the way there the school counsellor called she was upset in school as she thought I was going to a out of state hospital......I think they internalize a lot of worry......and it affects them deeply to see Mom suffer.......

I would take them to LLMD. Lymies are more likely to have lice and other bugs. Because of high chloride levels.
