I'm on iv rocephin for nearly a month, with oral zithro, alternating doxi for 5 days, tindamax
for the other 5. My nerves feel like they're stripped. I don't feel nervous, but my hands
and only hands can't stop shaking. Could your nerves be stripped and could antibiotics mend
them? I'm not sure how that works, but I have lyme, bart and possibly ehrlicia. I have trust
in my doc, I haven't felt myself mindwise (disconnected from myself) in over a month - This is my 4th time on iv since
2004, thank God bouts I've felt ok in between, but I don't remember my hands shaking like this. Feel good and thanks.

Try methyl B-12 injections. Twenty five milligrams three times a week will help heal the nerves.

- Q: "Could nerves be stripped?"
Absolutely, as lyme can destroy the outer coating to the nerves, the myelin sheath.
Methyl B-12 is said to help as well as other support measures. Treating the infection is key, but certain supplements also are vital.
As to whether your symptoms are from that - or from other things that go so wrong with lyme - it would be hard to say. It's like a combination.
Magnesium and Fish Oil - and Adrenal support - are all important to help address the symptoms you describe. Liver support, too, to help decrease toxicity in your body. Lyme toxins, alone, can cause one to feel as if nerves have no protective buffer whatsoever. -
