Have read where many on the board have this symtom - hand / joint pain.
My symptoms have included fatigue, shortness of breath, and bladder pain - - all of which are much better with treatment (plaqu, clarith, bicillin shots, bactrim).
Had a very stressful week! And had some pain in my thumb joint a while back. But now am experiencing migrating pain throughout my fingers. Does this mean my treatments are not working and the Lyme is sreading? Also, it seemed as if I have the tingling sensation in my feet. Scares me that I may be going down hill.
I'm trying not to stress... because I definetly think that stress hinders progress and could have prompted this reaction. But it's difficult to ignore the pain - - even though it is nothing compared to bladder pain! What is going on?
I herxed a week or so ago so I don't think it is die off. Thoughts from anyone would be much appreciated.

ic,
You are right that stress increases joint pain. Stress sets a lot of bad chemicals in motion in our bodies.
I believe ongoing high level of job stress is what broke me down enough to become so sick with so many infections.
Check out www.emofree.com. This is a very simple process based on physical responses. It does not require faith in it to work and it does not take long at all.
The very first session I did released my fear of the disease. I had developed an irrational fear of a relapse that was affecting me emotionally. I had been reading up on EFT for a long time and had even downloaded the free instructions and had tried it on my own without much result. But one session with a practitioner cleared my fear and it has never returned. We did a second session to be sure, but the first one had done the trick. $50.
You can attend workshops if there is a practitioner near you and the workshops are typically just $19 to $20.
This is a simple, inexpensive thing to try that shows you quickly whether or not it will help you.

Visited the emofree.com site. Do I need to look under serious illness, panic anxiety?
How did you locate a practioner in your area? I live in Birmingham, AL?
I think you are right in that the fear of the disease can be possibly more self defeating than the disease itself - got to learn to LET IT GO!!! Roll with it!

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that pains in your thumbs/fingers and elsewhere means you are going downhill or the lyme is getting worse. It most likely doesn't mean that at all. I think it's just what lyme does. I've been in lyme/co treatment for about 2 years and I'm doing a LOT better than I was, but I still have finger stiffness/pain and joint stiffness and sometimes pains throughout my body. It's just something that happens.

When I take mepron, I have insane bone and joint pain. Can hardly walk and raise my arms. I've heard that this can happen to people. I only take 1/4 tsp and i have this much pain. It goes away after herx. I've heard it gets better.
i just started biaxin and i really like it. I herx a bit, but i feel so much better the next day and it is taking away the burning in my feet and hands.
