Hi ncgirl88
I did a little bit of research on lyme disease and was reminded of before i went to my college, i had a serious unknown skin rashes. I went to the first doctor who was very ignorant and gave me casual diagnosis and treatment. Why do i say this? because she was the one who told me i had fungal attack and when i took her fungal medicines my rashes immediately gotten worse. As a result i have to change doctor to see if it gets any better. I couldn't go back to the first doctor because she charged me heavily when her medicines is not expensive at all. So i decided to change a doctor and because they were not skin specialist they all go saying i have skin fungal and tell me to keep my skin clean and not too damp. I tried all these way before they told me. With each passing day and medicines i took my rashes keep worsening. Then i decided to go for a skin test and i realised it was not even fungal attack! There was tested negative fungal infection. Can u feel how i felt? Then the doctor decided to change a new type of medicines and my rashes kept worsening. Until one day they decided they couldn't help because they were not skin specialist and they referred me to the hospital. Because school was starting in a few days and my appointment means i will not be able to attend the appointment so i went to a skin specialist clinic. That doctor gave me betamethasone oral drug and my rashes got healed. But i remembered so clearly when i took betamethasone oral drug, my two wrists developed a 'lump' it got kind of sowllen and my ankles too. The 'lump' is hard and very solid feeling. I am sure it is not present before i was on the drug. Immediately i told the doc about it and he said there was no known side effects reported with this drug and he shrugged it off as it was perhaps my muscles. I was pretty upset because i obviously know if it was really muscles. But with that drug my rashes healed completely. And he added that maybe it was fever that caused me to have all this rashes. Uptil today i still does not know what caused my rashes. Could it be the lyme u talking about? My rashes look alot like mosquitoe bite but just that it isn't. It does not itch either. That was somewhat a 3 years ago incident. Surely it have not that impact on me till now?
