My main symptoms are muscle twitching (all over the body), muscles crawling (like a butterfly underneath my skin), sore calf muscles (feels like i lifted some leg weights for too long),numbness in hand and feet, and fatigue.
These are mostly the only symptoms I have except for the major brain fog and add.
Do these sound like my lyme has struck again after 6 years?????
Anyone else have these symptoms?

Maybe. I think you should see an LLMD. You have enough symptoms to warrant concern. Weights on the leggs is a good way to describe the weakness I feel in the legs. Get well soon. -p

I have all of these symptoms, and some more too. Sounds very suspicious to me.

I too had body wide muscle twitching all over my entire body. I did find that it went away about six months into antibiotics and magnesium supplements.
I take Natural Calm by Peter Gilham. It is a magnesium drink at night with hot water. It seems to have helped do the trick with getting rid of body wide twitching. That and the antibiotics I"m sure did it.
Sounds like it could be lyme with the twitching and brain fog. I would get tested asap and see a LLMD who will rule it in/out.

I am told this is related to Bartonella

So........what abx or other steps are you taking to actually combat your obviously still active infection?
Folks......if you have symptoms...you need treatment.
Period.
Sometimes I just have to say it....point blank.
Sorry.

I have all of those symptoms and am positive for Lyme according to the Igenex western blot. I have improved substantially on antibiotics. So yes, it does sound like your Lyme has struck again.

That sure sounds like lyme to me! Do you live in a region where lyme is prevalent? It could be a relapse, but you might have got bitten again and not noticed? Sounds like you better get to the lyme doc pronto! And maybe cop some abx somewhere for the interim). I hope you nail it quicker this time, if that's what it is! Lyme SUCKS! DaveS
