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?

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.

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.

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.

I don't know the answer to your question but a large number of us have negative lyme tests even though we have lyme.  I would be happy that my lyme test was positive then I would know what is wrong with me for sure.

Maybe all the STD tests were run, but they didn't report all the results to you -- it's worth a call to the dr's office to ask exactly what they ran, instead of going by what you were billed for.  I agree with other's comments above.  In the meantime, don't freak -- if you stay calm, you'll think more clearly.  Deep breaths!

thank you again patsy!....is it often that these bacterias can cross in a false positive Lymes Disease test? and yes I thought it was a full pannel but apparently it wasn't some people are saying this is ovulation but I am freaking out it could be worse especially since im positive for Lyme and maybe this could be a false positive from something else? is this likely? what STDs could do this? do you know?
