I've been losing my hair for 3 years now. Am almost used to it by now. Strangely, when I sweat my pores on my head and even under my arms feel itchy and irritated - almost like I can feel each and every hair jumping off my skin. My left eyelid droops occasionally and when I look at a white wall I can see black spots and squirmy little organisms when I move my eyes. And of course the floaters. Just hoping someone can identify with some of these symptoms. Thanks!!

The drooping eyelid can be triggered by a virus re-emerging or it is a symptom of lyme:
OmegaBrite (to reduce inflammation) helps as does selenium (anti-oxidant)- from personal experience.
" Patients with floaters due to inflammatory eye diseases may be helped by medicines to treat the inflammation; however, the floaters may remain after the treatment. Although floaters can be bothersome, most people learn to ignore them."
The sweating and eye drooping could be babesia. Also hair loss is your thyroid. Lyme can force you into hypothyroidism. Your LLMD should be addressing this issue. My hair has grown back and my eye doesnt droop any more! Its taken about a year but it will come back. Good Luck

I have horrible hair loss too but my doc just kind of shrugs it off. I have thought for years it is thyroid but have been tested at least 2/yr for 5 yrs and they always say it is normal! Very frustrating
I don't have a droopy eye but when my lyme symptoms flair I do have a bad stinging in my left eye and have a hard time opening it after sleeping.
Sammy I am so excited to hear someone had their hair grow back. Did you get on thyroid medicine? I've heard many times your levels can be in "normal" range and there can still be a thyroid problem....just wish I could find someone to diagnose me.

The droopy eyelid can be a symptom of Bells Palsy. I have seen the squiggly things also.I think is very possible if not probable that you have parasites.
Do a search on here by typing in parasites and Lyme. There is a lot of info,
