Bit of a long story. I have only ever as far as I know had 2 ticks on me the last one over 10 yrs ago and both times I removed them when they were still flat and tiny so couln'dt have been on for long. I didn't develop any rash or flu like symptoms.
I have for many many years suffered constant pain all over my body which has been attributed to damage to my spine. I also have abnormal brain mri showing some lesions but not correlating to ms. I also have daily twitching mostly in face ( eyes/mouth) and legs ( thighs/calves) and I also have lots of tingling and altered sensation, again attributed to my spinal damage.
BUT I have just read that people with lymes disease can have abnormal mri showing what looks like ms lesions plus tingling and shooting pains all over body.
A few months ago I saw a neurologist who did another brain mri plus evoked eye potential test and at end he said abnormalities on both but only slight so inconclusive - none the wiser! I can go back to see him at any time and have emailed his sec asking for either an appt or other way of contacting him to ask about the lyme posibility.
I'm not sure how to approach him without letting on that I found the info on the internet - he is very nice man and am sure he wil not be offended at me asking about lymes but anyone any ideas??
Or do you think my HA is making me bark up the wrong tree here??
