Yes I want a virtual diagnosis........

No I have had a diagnosis through positive serology.

I am doing this because I want to. I will send my blood off to a lab in Germany who use dark field (A proper lab )

Thanks for all your help

Hi guys, can you have a look at this image

what do you think?
To me it looks like a spirochete with its corkscrew shape.

Hmm ok thanks. That is an interesting theory but I can't find any images of this on a blood smear.

Also if it was fibrin would there really be so many of these?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the info.

can you take a look here please

seems to show one dividing/breaking into two moving parts. Searched the net high and low and still cant find anything similar other than spiros.

thanks

Thank you for all the info. Assuming the slides are not repeatedly contaminated by the same thing - would you say that they are abnormal to be in a "normal" blood smear? There are lots of videos that show borrelia b that look very similar if not the same as mine. Also there are many variants of lyme...

Ok thanks. I was looking into a darkfield upgrade.

I'm not saying these are definitely spirochetes, but if they are not then what are they

Great appreciate your help

Thanks for the replies. Seek medical attention? I have had 50 gp appointments, admitted to hospital 3 times, ambulance once, neurologist 2 times, Mri and ct head scan. Infectious disease appointments and like I said unless you know about Lyme then you won't know how difficult it is to get an nhs dia...

Lol! I am not saying this is a diagnosis and those who know of lymes know how hard it is to get a nhs diagnosis. I have a diagnosis privately.

My question was do they look like spirochetes not do I have lymes?

Hi guys - would you be so kind to take a look at my videos. I believe I have lymes disease and have been very sick for 6 months. I think I have found spirochetes in my blood. The camera quality is a bit poor but they are visible. Do you agree they look like spirochetes or something else? I have trie...

Thank you very much. I see - I will be getting a new camera soon which will help with the images.

It mentions that staining and drying can also cause these so maybe its a result of drying.

are these crenated red blood cells?

Is this caused by the way the smear is done and is it normal for this to happen?

They don't look like any wbc. Look more like burr cells with something inside of them. Not sure what they are

Hi guys, can someone tell me what type of cells these are. I did a simple finger prick blood smear.
There are lots of these cells and there seems to be granules inside of each one.

Thanks.
