PMR and Lyme disease ?
Hello, do you have any idea of a correlation between PMR and Lyme disease? Following tick bites, can it cause PMR ? Doctors do not give any answers and my GP said no reason known what causes PMR.

Possible Cellulitis
Hello, Question for everyone. I’m almost positive I have cellulitis in my inner thigh area where my leg meets my pelvic area (almost vaginal area). I noticed this morning it felt hot and tender to the touch but really didn’t think much else of it. I see my OB tomorrow (2 weeks post partum), so I went

More evidence of thyroid illness and Lyme Disease connection
It would be ridiculous to state that thyroid illness is always caused by Lyme Disease and/or other chronic infections, but the evidence mounts continuously that there is often a link. All of the patients I've met who are being treated for Lyme and other chronic infections need thyroid replacement to

Problem after cellulitis
I had cellulitis on my ankle about 5 months ago. I was prescribed antibiotics, which seemed to solve the problem. Since then, the spot where the cellulitis was has indented and is very flakey and a little sore to the touch. Should I be concerned about this?

Meningitis
My mum is at risk of meningitis and I’m afraid that if she doesn’t recover I will have to look after her and my severely autistic brother by myself. On Saturdays I have to go to my part time job and am still in school. Does ANYONE have ANY reassurance??

Decision made re shingles jab
Hi again. After reading all your helpful comments and having thought about it for days, I have just cancelled my shingles jab. On balance this is not the time to introduce further risks. Thanks everyone.

Are you still looking for help?
If you are wondering why you still can't get a diagnosis this may help you. Toxic Mold and Lyme Disease often go hand in hand and cause symptoms in all sorts of ways including those associated with thyroid problems. This may give you a few clues: https://toxicmoldproject.com/?idev_id=22&idev_username

Anyone with symptoms like mine?
It started with high fever, a recurring headache and red welts across my chest. I hate being ill - and hospitals - so begrudgingly went to the local hospital with my wife only to be told I had shingles and should be put in a ward immediately. However, that hospital did not a full-time skin doctor
