MRIs revealed brain lesions, but the spinal taps were negative for antibodies. They threw my diagnosis into the MS group due to lack of a better diagnosis. I was serving in the Army as a infantryman and had been bitten by ticks in most of the training areas in CONUS. Around the same time I was first coming down with my symptoms I had an old root canal get infected and I was treated for that when they pulled the tooth. <br /><br />My symptoms haven't progressed, and vary in intensity in a pattern that seems to correspond to how consistent I am in taking my synthroid. My decreased thyroid function is another autoimmune issue that the docs caught around the same time they started treating me for MS. I certainly could have gotten Lyme disease and treated it unknowingly with the 2 different courses of antibiotics I was prescribed for the tooth infection and another sinus infection around the same time.<br /><br />I don't think that all MS cases are Lyme disease related, but an outlier case like mine, with atypical symptoms, from a man who regularly spent time in wilderness conditions with multiple tick bites could easily be explained by this guys hypothesis.Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00391224284750059669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694894153899281485.post-15976139202486575272017-06-23T21:25:39.199-07:002017-06-23T21:25:39.199-07:00Hey doc the word is demyelination.

How can you portray yourself as having in depth knowledge of a complex medical topic when you arent even familiar with very basic medical terminology? It would be forgivable if it were just one mistake, but you use this made up word multiple times in this post and literally every on of your nearly 500 blog posts contains misspellings, but we should believe that you understand highly complex medical issues that other doctors do not? You are claiming to be on the cutting edge of medical practice and making assertions that are controversial and unfounded and even going as far as to say you know better than the medical establishment and are proposing far out revolutionary theories such this blog post, but you can't even spell properly or construct proper sentences. Something smells a bit fishy here. Is it well established medical science, or is it some random doctor in Maryland who has been investigated multiple times by the medical boards in his state, and recieved his medical diploma from an offshore medical school in the Caribbean. Hmm. If it quacks like a duck, well...Clyde Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049804648430268226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694894153899281485.post-27062875413549133892009-12-22T18:35:48.682-08:002009-12-22T18:35:48.682-08:00I was diagnosed with MS about a decade ago and Lym...I was diagnosed with MS about a decade ago and Lyme this past summer. My assumption was similar to this blog, however a nurse corrected me. MS is multiple sclerosis, which, in layman terms, literally means more than one scar in the CNS. So, whether or not the scars are caused by Lyme or some other agent, if you have more than one area of demylination, you have MS.Curioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07007075722767844956noreply@blogger.com
