Anyone have this? When I'm sitting at my computer I feel like I'm swaying back and forth. Plus I feel like I'm not really here. It's scary.

Definetly the part about not really being here. Sort of like an out of body experience. I use to associate that feeling with anxiety, but I think it is from the Lyme. I think it is because our central nervous system is involved.

Yes, I've been having that all day today as well as yesterday. I'm herxing. It's a herx symptom for me definitely.

It is scary though, I know. [Frown]

I see an inner ear connection in such descriptions. Of course, lyme is notorious for affecting balance.

You might find some explanation from VEDA

What you describe is on the symptom list for vestibular disorders:

Can you take ginger capsules or ginger tea? Magnesium can help, too, with B-6, NAC, etc.

I had my 12 year old niece at lunch with me . . . I was sitting across from her. For about 5 minutes, smack in the middle of it, it was 'who is that?' and 'where am I'? When I came back to myself a little bit, it was still Wwhere do i live, and how will I get home?'

Yikes.

On balance issues, they used to be horrendous. I've been doing very well (abx since Feb '07) but recently, balance has cropped up as a problem again!! So, I guess it is all just a part of the LD process.

If you are taking mino or doxy, they can cause or aggravate balance/dizziness/movement issues.

I first read your post a few days ago and thought that I remembered experiencing something similar from awhile ago right now its happening again and I just remembered your post. Its more intense now that I remember it ever being.

Can you explain what it feels like in more detail? I just want to know if its the same thing. I keep getting a mild sensation of falling and I feel kind of dizzy and disconnected. I also feel really anxious.

I don't even know if thats the best way to describe it but that was my best shot.
