Afternoon,
Have noticed that I am developing more pins/needles in my feet. I was wondering what your LLMD uses to treat th neuro part of lyme.

I have heard great things about amoxi/biaxin.

Any thoughts, suggestions? Janice

Janice,

For what it's worth, antibiotics did not address my nerve pain, in fact it is worse after treatment!

In my humble opinion, and of course this does not apply to everyone, the nerve pain may need to be addressed as it is....nerve pain.

I am on the verge of trying Tegretol.

One thing that I have found helpful in the past for face nerve pain is far infrared light combined with acupuncture.

Good luck!

Espsom salt soaks as hot as comfortable, then rinse

in cold water has helped mine. As well as B12IM

and rubbing lemon on hot burning neck. May help

feet also. I rub mine down in coconut oil.
