My newest symptom is burning heels.. like they on hot coals and really tight feeling.. just the heel. i get this after a workout or upon exertion. it is the most painful symptom i have yet. i read a lot about foot pain being a babesia symptom but what kind of pain are you all experiencing.. is it a deep burning soreness in the heels.. oh it's terrible

Maybe it's the exercising that's the problem!! Lucky you!
Chill....and READ all you can about Lyme! Knowledge is power.
Feet pain has been mentioned on this board many times recently and usually Bart. is the number one coinfection that is brought up as the cause. Tutu has given has given you much to read so perhaps you will find out more!

Pru,
I developed sore heels - not burning - when I began Bartonella treatment and now it's back while I'm only on Lyme medications.
I had watched Dr. B's DVD and he mentioned sore soles as a symptom of Bartonella (or Bartonella-like organisms as he calls them because this might be a new strain or organism).
When I asked my LLMD about this recently and he said sore heels are not always Bartonella. It is tricky figuring out which coinfection causes what, that's why you need to work closely with a knowledgeable Lyme specialist.
Burning in general is a common Lyme symptom. I have burning throughout most of my body. It was one of my first Lyme symptoms, it started in my feet and spread. Had I gotten into treatment sooner, it probably would not have spread, or at least not so fast or so extensively. So please make sure you get into treatment as soon as possible, if you haven't already.
