Scared

[sam6386]

Ive posted on here numerous times because I am terrified. I am so scared I might have something else and am getting a false positive on my Lymes Disease test... Im thinking I could have an STD or something that mayb be going untreated and showed up on a Lymes Disease test ( Chlamydia, Gonorreha and/or Syphillis) I know Doxycycline (the medicine I am on now would help for Chlamydia and/or Syphyllis. Do STDs usually result in a false positive Lymes Disease test? The reason I am also saying this is that I have had vaginal discharge yesterday...(stringy, and gooey and a lot of it at one time. then a little this morning, it was also a clear/yellow color but more clear and more clear the 2nd time around) Some people say this is ovulation but I feel like thats a lot of discharge for ovulation. Can anyone please help? I am going crazy and can't tell my parents this and we are supposed to go away for a few days so I would have to wait to see someone until Friday. What STD usually brings up a false positive on a Lymes Disease Test? or can all of them do this?

you haven't mentioned all your symptoms? - do you have lyme symptoms as well as the discharge?  

apologies if I am wrong  - maybe you mentioned your symptoms in a previous post.

thank you to all of the comments...apparently when I had gotten my pap smear it was done....so everything was done is what I was told and was told the results were negative (thus far) (crossing fingers/knock on wood) with everything... I called the doctor and obgyn- OBGYN thinks it was ovulation hopefully shes right although I am still worried/scared.

Sam, You should have a county clinic that you can go to  and they ahve to keep things private. No matter your age.   You need to have not only blood tests, but testing of the discharge.  This is the only way to determine certian STD like Herpes or Genital Warts.

Please don't panic.  Get the tests done,  There is treatment for STD's. But if you don't know, you can't get the treatment.

Almost always when a person is test for STD  they are test for all STD... but HIV and Herpes are the most prevelant STD's so that is what the Dr's focus on telling the results.

You can go back and ask to see your results for the rest of the STD's tested.  They have to give you those records, and if htey procrastinate, make a scene...

Learned that has sometimes that is thte only way you are going to get results.

well when I went a few weeks ago to my GYNO she had said she checked for everything else and says they came back negative and said the discharge should be ovulation. My regular doctor was the one that had taken the blood work so these were two seperate occassions and as far as Herpes and HIV those have been negative so far too. I hope this is true. I am and was just very worried a lot of things keep happening :( and I am not in the best state of mind right now. Thank all of you for all of your help.

Everything is going to be ok. Trust me the more you worry and panic the worse your lyme is going to get. The discharge could also be from the antibiotics. I have heard a couple of women say that especially on thier ovulation time when thay are on antibiotics it is way more discharge than usual. I know it's scary, its a scary disease. But you can get through it. If you are really worried, just go in every month to an annonomous womens clinic where youwill be kept confidential and get tested. :) we are all here for you, and we know that this is a very long and hard journey but you can get through it! And we have a whole bunch of emotional support here for you.
