	I believe I have this as I have memory issues, neck pain, and spinal pain. I've seen two lyme specialists and neither ever mentioned CNS Lyme. Why aren't they better at communicating? Back to Top

	It is mainly based on symptoms. Some docs think a spinal tap is the way, but it isn't often positive in the spinal fluid. Back to Top

	How do you know what meningitis feels like? about a month after all of my pains (5 months back) I have had a bruised like feeling on my spine that is right above my bra strap-constant, feel it more when I wake up or lean over. I had an MRI of my spine and was fine. I wonder if I should be screened for meningitis? My LLMD believes I have lyme in my CNS even though I did not test pos on 2 IGM (see my signature)--due to my symptoms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 yr old female/GERD dx 3/07/Migraines with Aura/IBS SYMPTOMS migratory joint/bone pain, extreme joint cracking, feet buzzing/vibrating, right eye pain,mid spine soreness (like a constant bruise) fatigue and dizzy spells, bumps and indents on nails.

	The positive sign for meningitis is if you have severe pain when trying to put your chin to your chest. Back to Top

	Oh in your neck? Okay whew I am clear. I get so paranoid about everything with so much funky stuff going on in my body. This odd bruise pain on my spine puzzles me, I have slight DDD near that area per my MRI of my spine--wonder if lyme can inflame that more? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 yr old female/GERD dx 3/07/Migraines with Aura/IBS SYMPTOMS migratory joint/bone pain, extreme joint cracking, feet buzzing/vibrating, right eye pain,mid spine soreness (like a constant bruise) fatigue and dizzy spells, bumps and indents on nails.
