Scared

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?

Just remember too that lyme disease is not just a physical disease it gets into your brain and affects how you think and feel and react. Have you seen a LLMD yet? But sweety the possibility of you testing neg on both the blood and the pap and you stiill having an STD are not very good at all. Try not to worry and maybe try going to a natropath.They know different natural type remidies to help with your worrying and stressfulness that the antibiotics can not help with.

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.

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.

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.
