Hello everyone my name is Jessica and I am suffering from something so deep its really hard to even explain, but I am gonna try, over the past 4 yrs ive been ill I woke up one morning and had vision problems my eyes where bouncing back an forth, my ears filled up and I was so dizzy I could bearly walk,around that time I had a mark on my big toe,back then I didn’t know about tick bites, and now I do an the mark was that of a bull eye, as of now the tests and doctors ive been dianosisd with ms,fibromyalgia,tmd,gerd,toxoplama,hib influenza,depression.
Then on Feb 3 /2015 my gp calls me to say your blood test came back with anaplasma from a tick bite,so I thought back an I remembered that mark on my toe. My question is I have lesions in my brain can this infection cause this? If so is there anyway to treat it. I am still suffering everyday with Symtoms the doctors here are not doing much to help me. Plz if any questions or answers would help me out thanks.
No, Anaplamosis does not cause brain "lesions" It can certainly cause neurological problems and can cause pain in your tendons. I assume the MS diagnoses came from the white matter lesions on your MRI???
Not white matter lesions. Abscesses at times but that is usually related to HIV. There are of course some forms of toxoplasmosis, but their is no doubt about that disease.
Have you been dianosisd with lyme or a co infection, I was on I form and I have a lot of people that are trying to figure out why this is happening to me do you have any suggestions
EVERYBODY has HIB as its routinely vaccinated against and exists naturally of every living human being in the respiratory tract anyway. There is NO WAY you have hib influenza or toxoplasmosis for four years. You would be dead. What kind of doctors are you seeing surely not a rheumatologist or infectious disease specialist I hope. These diagnoses sound like something coming from a "lyme literate doctor" or naturpath depending on genome testing.
That being said The FMS and MS could certainly be a very good explanation. Even if the tick bite was related some of the bacterial infections damage the auto-immune system leaving some very long term effects. I'd work with a good reheumatolgist. Where in BC are you?
