Hi! Im new to this site but have found it useful so decided to post!
Im currently 21 weeks pregnant and in the first 3months was doing extremely well... (in terms of anxiety) ... untill a rash appeared. I initially thought not much of it until it persisted so i went to my gp who assured me it was a harmless rash most likely fungal and gave me cream! with using the cream it faded but not completely (this was 2 months ago) I still have the skin rash.
Very stupidly i decided to google 'pregnant with rash that wont go away' ... immediately bought up lymes disease and i started to panic and ever since I have been spending hours and hours reading up about lymes disease.... i have now convinved myself i have it and have even been associating symptoms (which are probably just pregnancy) with lymes disease....
i have seen 5 doctors, 2 pharmacists and one private gp who have all told me it is not lymes! I am so scared i have it because of what it can do to an unborn :(
the rash doesnt resemble a lymes rash but looks a bit similar to a few ive seen! i have had my scans that have all been perfect and Im still worried. My anxiety is so high atm and i cant control it! i should be happy but i cant help but think ' what if they are all wrong ... google says doctors know nothing about lymes what if i slip through the system and end up in a bad situation'!
i even spent 150 pounds on a blood test which came back negative but again GOOGLE says they are inaccurate so that was a waste of money!
some reassurance would be greatly received!
the more i read symptoms of lymes the more i seem to develop the symptoms such as muscle shakes and pains :( please help xxx
