I've noticed lately that my hands feel weird, kind of stiff like. It is especially noticeable when I am trying to write. It's like I have a hard time getting a grip on the pen at first. Kinda uncordinated feeling. I think it's worse if my hands are cold. It is really bothersome and makes me worry. It is worse in my right hand which is the arm that feels so heavy and weak all the time. It's also the right shoulder/neck that hurts me so bad and tingles/burns. My Osteopath thinks all the problems in my arm is from inflamation in my neck and shoulder... and that it's pinching a nerve. It comes and goes.

Does anyone else get this?
thanks.

I used to get this, and I know exactly what you're describing. It made me worry, too.

It's improved with TBD treatment.

Yes this loss of control is common in starting treatments. It is very upsetting. My theory is it is the lyme letting go of the nerves and they don't know how to behave. Heat helps and soaks.
