i know what your saying. i remember finding a tick on my head when i was like 10 or something..i thought it was something else like a scab..i would move it back and forth and all that. couldn't tell because of the hair on my head. by the time i figured out it was a tick it could have been on there months. disgusting when you think about it. i guess i wouldn't of seen the bullsye either..lol. who knows. thanks for looking at that for us.

Hi Lyon,
Thanks for the links. That radiology site is certainly worth bookmarking for future reference.

lyon. did you repost that part about the dr and doing the spinal tabs and none of the ms patients have lyme?interesting. i think lyme, from what i have read is very difficult to dx. kind of like ms patients that have spinal taps and don't have the bands. even if you don't it doesn't mean you don't have ms. interesting none the less...have a good weekend.

Could a person with MRTC's still consider Lyme disease as a cause?

Lyon and everyone,

I am so glad I stumbled upon this site. You all have opened my eyes and mind to the complications and enormity of this disease. With my limited knowledge, I assumed MS was a beast of it's own. I thought it was either LD or MS. My mind is expanding to understand it may be that LD left untreated could have brought upon my MS dx or maybe not. I guess even if I choose to push the issue and get tested and retested and retested for LD that even if it eventually comes up positive it really doesn't matter...I HAVE MS.

Keep teaching and enlightening me,
Marcia

Severe copper deficiency and zinc poisoning present with symptoms that can mimic MS. A blood test can rule thse out: http://excessive-zinc-causes-multiple-s ... ptoms.com/

optimal zinc level in healthy controls is 18 umol/L so if you test and are lower than that you're a typical ms-er.
i have read of excess symptoms starting in the low-mid 20s. bad excess symptoms in the 30s. i'd have to go hunting again to find those.. not right now though.
fatality after accidental zinc oxide injection into the heart: "However, in comparison to a control case, the zinc concentrations determined by AAS were about 200 times higher in lung tissue, 10 times higher in heart blood and 3-4 times higher in kidney and liver tissue".
