This symptom comes and goes, but I been feeling pretty strong lately.. I'm not 100 percent but better than last week.. I only been on treatment twice..
First the the 200 mg of doxy for 20 days 1 time a day. and then couple of months later. The 14 days of iv rocephin.. Was herxing for awhile, but I been of those treatments
for 3 weeks now... My problem is vertigo I guess, when I stress my vertigo kicks in.. I kind of hate that, not to mention sometimes my shins
tingle. Those are my only symptoms I have had for a few days now and that's it. I know I'm not cure, but I fill fine. When I'm outside, I do not feel it..
I feel it more when I'm in a small office with people, weird, not sure if its stress,,,Possible co-infections..When I'm off work I just feel so tired, like right now..
I sleep like a baby at night... no insomnia what so ever.
PLease advise...
Thanks group

I am not sure about what co-infection causes vertigo but someone else here might know. I have vertigo too and it seems to be worse for me when I first wake up in the morning.
When I get the tingling feeling in my case I think it might be Bartonella and I usually get it when I am having anxiety.

Was your question about the vertigo or something else??
All I can say is that I'm so sorry you're dealing with vertigo! UGH!

Yes vertigo... I think it is vertigo....Mainly when I stress and have some anxiety...Can it be co-infection or just lyme?

Tony,
Did you ever find a doctor? Were you able to look over some of the Bionic 880 treatment information with the doctor in Pforzheim, Germany ?
Vertigo is certainly a classic symptom of lyme and other tick-borne disease (TBD).
It can also be from many other things.
Ginger Tea - or ginger capsules - or ginger root in your food - might help.

Here is a symptom list - I am sure there is a newer one floating around. This is from 2002 but according to this list vertigo is a Lyme disease symptom.
Short Symptom List: Lyme Disease & Common Co-Infections
Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella, and Ehrlichia The following symptoms were excerpted from Diagnostic Hints And Treatment Guidelines For Lyme And Other Tick Borne Illnesses, by Joseph J. Burrascano Jr., M.D. (Fourteenth Edition, November, 2002).
Borrelia
(Borreliosis, neuroborreliosis; also known as Lyme Disease)
Spread primarily though the bite of infected ticks that live on a wide range of mammalian species; secondary human-to-human transmission through semen, breast milk, and possibly in utero
Bladder dysfunction Burning or stabbing sensations Cardiac impairment Change in bowel function Chest pain Confusion Depression Difficulty thinking Difficulty with concentration and reading Difficulty with speech, writing Difficulty finding words; name blocking Disorientation: getting lost, going to wrong places Disturbed sleep: too much, too little, fractionated, early awakening Ears/Hearing: buzzing, ringing, ear pain, sound sensitivity Exaggerated symptoms or worse hangover from alcohol Eyes/Vision: double, blurry, increased floaters, light sensitivity Facial paralysis (Bell's palsy) Fatigue, tiredness, poor stamina Forgetfulness Headache Heart block Heart murmur Heart palpitations Heart valve prolapse Increased motion sickness Irritability Irritable bladder Joint pain or swelling Lightheadedness Mood swings Muscle pain or cramps Neck creaks & cracks Neck stiffness, pain Numbness Pelvic pain Poor attention Poor balance Poor short-term memory Problem absorbing new information Pulse skips Rib soreness Sexual dysfunction or loss of libido Shooting pains Shortness of breath; cough Skin hypersensitivity Sore throat Stiffness of the joints or back Swollen glands Testicular pain Tingling Tremor Twitching of the face or other muscles Unavoidable need to sit or lay down Unexplained breast pain Unexplained fevers, sweats, chills or flushing Unexplained hair loss Unexplained menstrual irregularity' Unexplained milk production Unexplained weight loss or gain Upset Stomach or abdominal pain Vertigo Wooziness
Babesia
(Babesiosis)
Babesia is a protozoan spread by ticks, blood transfusion, and in utero. Despite there being 13 known forms to date, current testing only looks for two of them.
Air hunger Cough Fatigue Fevers Headache Hemolysis Imbalance without true vertigo Mild encephalopathy Shaking chills Sweats
In april 2008 I was on Doxy for only 20 days (What my doctor told me) and I only took about 17 days worth. That did not help, I still have symptoms.
Then in Jun 2008 I was on Infusion (Rocephin) for only 14 days.
Again my doctor told me only 14. Since I been off the ABX I Feel a little bit worse. I.E. Spine hurts, lower
back hurts, spaced out in my mind. Legs feel funny, like Jello.
I think I need to go back on ABX. Just don't know for how long and what ABX? Please help so I can let my . . . ."

I drink green Tea.....I have not find a lyme doctor yet.. I'm still waiting on my medical insurance to come in... I need to pay my medical bills first arrrr
Tony, it could be emf. You mentioned it is only when you are inside the symtoms occur. Another thought is the ceiling height.
Just as an experiment, find an office with minimal electronic equipment and work their for a day. See if the symtoms still persist or improve.

I would say that that could be just Lyme, so i would not assume you have a coinfection just from that info.
If your shins tingle, it sounds like Lyme, but if they are in pain, that sounds like Bartonella to me.
Don't rule them out though if you don't get better eventually.
Please take good care of yourself!

Keebler I remember writing that, but it seems like most of those symptoms are gone for right now...
Its just hard to explain what I'm feeling.. Its mainly indoors or when I am in a small office w/ people.. Just feels weird...
I have a motorcycle and I rode it to work and I felt fine....
