Hi!
The fatigue in my muscles is getting worse as is the soreness.My muscles are sore to touch from my but down just like when you have played a game of squash or basketball,but I haven't done anything.

Anyone else have this??Scared I am getting MS or Motor Neurone ???

Hi Sue,

I experienced this quite a bit during recovery. Sometimes my muscles would be so sore and weak that I couldn't lift an arm or a leg.

I'm sure it was Lyme.

This would often happen in the evening, though I did experience it in the morning too.

When I think back, Lyme presented such strange symptoms that I never even told anyone about all of them for fear no one would ever believe me!

Hang in there....

I had that a lot early in my LD treatment. I suspect it was caused by an untreated mycoplasma co-infection. Have you been tested for that?

Sue,

This could be from Lyme or a co-infection. I get it as well, mostly in my legs and feet.

I find it is better if I activate the muscles by using them. I usually do very light strengthening.

I am so sorry you are going thru this. Please know you are in good company. This DD hits us everywhere and it can be so frightening. I send you light and laughter.

Hi shassler64:

I have the same problem. However, my muscles are sore to touch on the upper part of my body too. Especially my arms.

What I found is if I touch the inner part of my knee and press with my fingers as I slowly move up - it is ladder like and very painful.

I asked my doctor what this is and she told me nerves.

I have had it for years and do think it is part of the neuro symptoms of lyme. I found that when I took very high doses of doxy and amoxy it lessened. Which is why I feel it is neuro. However, my doctor switched me to zithromax at that point and I feel I lost all I gained. I decided since I have been on abx for 2 1/2 year to take a break with samento for a month and get back to abx that cross the bb.

It is scary to always have this sensation. But, knowing it is lyme related helps me.

I wish I could give you more but hope this helps a little.

i get a lot more of the cramping and muscle tightness than the soreness you are describing.

i used to lift a lot of weights and was a triathlete. it seems the chetes got in all my muscle and caused a lot of inflammation and stiffness and cramping.

that's my theory anyway.

massage helps me tremendously but it sounds as if it would be terribly painful for you.
