What makes ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms increase in size?

@annieboo You bring up something interesting. I had Lyme Disease, which was treated. Interesting if that is a common denominator.
You, as are everyone in this group are in my prayers too. Thank you for sharing.

This is something that I'm going to have to look into. I had a pretty severe Lyme infection back in 2005. I had meningitis. Lost my vision. Had a PIC line inserted and gave myself IV antibiotics for 30 days. I lost 10 weeks of work. I don't think you're ever back to normal afterwards.
I was diagnosed with my aneurysm last September. 4.2 cm. I see my cardiologist April 1. I have a lot of questions already, but Lyme is now added to the list.
Prayers and well wishes to all!!

I have had Lyme many times and Erlichosis twice--once as recent as last year, as well as many of the co-infections caused by ticks. At one point, I was on long-term antibiotics, and I have been treated many other times. I am on a herbal protocol presently. I think that ticks have really messed with my health. I would like to participate in any studies about tick diseases, and I tried to contact Dr. Commins at UNC several times, but no one ever got back with me. There are no tick-literate docs in my neck of the woods, so I mostly rely on "specialists" outside the realm of PhDs.
