My journey down the rabbit hole that is called Lyme Disease. I became sick after a trip to Virginia in December 2009. Within weeks of returning to Southern California, I became sick and it was then that MY WHOLE LIFE CHANGED. It's been quite a journey since then. I started this blog as an outlet to try and share info I've learned and also links to other sites that I found very helpful.

Weird Rash on my Hands
When I first became sick with Lyme, I developed this really weird rash on my hands (along with all my other symptoms) and it has appeared and disappeared every month for over a year now. EVER SINGLE TIME I have a doctors appt, it happens to be in "remission" and is only a faint scar. I've never been able to show the doctors how BAD it gets! Have been trying to figure out if it's from Lyme, or Bartonella or something else. Would LOVE to know if anyone else has ever gotten this. It gets really red and itchy and recently it was the largest it's ever been. It starts out like a long lesion - almost like a "worm" (sorry that's the best way i can describe it!) then it turns into a full blown angry looking rash. Initially it was on my index finger and inside of thumb on my palm, but now it's moved to my middle finger and still on my palm. Sooooooo weird!!!
