Test Results--Pyroluria and Lyme

[JudyLV]

I have posted a few times regarding my 13 year old son. He has been gluten free for 5+ years and dairy, egg, soy, legume, and nut free for a couple of years. In the last year he had anxiety, OCD and vocal tics develop. I was puzzeled because the diet changes seem to help others and his symptoms developed while on a strict allergen free diet.

 

Last week we got some test results back and he tested positive for pyroluria and Lyme Disease. He had Lyme in 2002 and that is when his gluten intolerance started. It is possible that the Lyme has been hiding out and building up and now that it has resurfaced it has caused some of his other symptoms (he also has bone and joint pain). I am thankful for this forum (recently there was an article on Lyme causeing TS symptoms). If we had followed our pediatrician's advice my son might simply be medicated to keep his symptoms under control. Now we are getting to the root cause of his symptoms.

Judy,

 

My oldest daughter has a friend who has lyme. She has had it for awhile. She was so understanding the first time she came to spend the night last year when my son was screaming. She told me she thought she had tics induced by her lyme. She does not have tics every few minutes or anything like that, she just would sometimes in class have a tic spell that she could not control.

 

 

So I think you have the right idea about the ts symptoms showing themselves do to the lyme.
