from Darrell :
Attention Everyone: This information is for those that are looking for a diagnosis of late stage LD especially when the doctors deny you have it because of their ignorance of the 19 year old CDC protocol on diagnosing LD and the the different co-infections. My LLMD showed me this over 12 years ago and it is much more accurate then a mis-read LD test. I have seen this on thousands of people with LD that I have help guide. I do not know what percentage of people have it but it is VERY common. My doc thought over 80%! Ask people to put their chin to their chest and push back their hair and look for it with good light conditions. It can be pink, red or blotchy in color. Usually it is right where the picture shows. Maybe even considered a "bulls eye".
Ref: 2nd National Conference on Serologic Diagnosis of Lyme Disease, CDC/ASTPHLD, 1994 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) requires a positive test for surveillance purposes in reporting cases of Lyme disease, the CDC itself clearly states that its surveillance criteria should not be used for clinical diagnosis, but rather, Lyme should be diagnosed based on a doctor’s evaluation of symptoms with the tests providing support.
