when I fall asleep and wake up - weird things happen.

It is usually right after one of these naps that I get a strange symptom. (then I fall asleep for 5-10 min and it's gone, just like that) Like one time my eye hurt everytime I looked up.

The one I get most often after a nap is this strange buzzing sensation over my entire body. Like the smallest tremor ever. It's weird and lasts for 5-20 mins.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? Is it lyme???
 

I used to get a buzzing kind of like that, but inside my head. I have heard others mention more what you are describing I think.

Perhaps some others can shar symptome with you so you can compare, but what you describe so far sounds pretty typical of what alot of us have experienced.

We sincerely hope thay are all being caused by one of more of these very treatable infections, and you can get better soon.

When did you notice something seemed to be wrong, and when did it get bad enough to send you to a Dr?

Have you ever noticed a rash that might be related? (The rashes are not always huge and target like. The Southern strains (STARI?) seem to produce dime to quarter size rashes more often... or none at all.

Do you recall any fever, or fever with a shaking chill? Do you get a slight fever in the afternoons sometimes?

The worst of our muscle aches, headaches, and neck stiffness went away when we got rid of a co-infection of what seems to have been just good old fashioned Malaria. (Probably gotten from Mosquitos in our own back yard in San Antonio.)

Malaria used to be endemic in the whole Southern US from Texas up to the Virginias. It was reportedly almost wiped out at one tome, but for the past 30 years nobody has even looked for it anymore.

The Malaria strain here is just flu-like and achy, but seldom gets people sick enough to send them to the hospital.

If someone looked at blood, they might see things like these in the red blood cells...

...But no human looks at blood anymore, machines do all the testing. Blood like that tests "NORMAL".

For us a week of the non-prescription herbal extract Artemisinin seems to have gotten rid of it, and with it about 70% of our discomfort.

Babesia looks similar and causes similar head buzzing and between the shoulder aches.

I suspect you have interesting looking blood like we did too. If so alot of your discomfort will disappear when the unwanted freeloaders are dealt with.

There...I gave you a little co-infection and hematology course. Good preparation for college!
