My symptoms seem to move from heart to brain. Two weeks ago brain fog and lack of balance. Last week heart palputations and skipping beats. This week I am back to brain fog and loosing balance. Is this normal.

My symptoms seem to hop around too. One week they'll be heart and air hunger, the next more visual, then maybe another week GI related. Don't know if it's normal or just me.

Krautz,

Sadly, yes, very typical. This is one of the distinguishing patterns that most regular doctors simply cannot understand. But it is well documented about lyme literate doctors.

Whatever is going on, be sure that your support system is in place with supplements and good self-care. Liver support is the most vital and that affects everything else, too.

Magnesium supplements should help normalize heart rhythm.

Fish oil can help with the brain fog; so can turmeric/curcumin.

Regarding balance, lyme (and other infections) do affect the ears in many different ways. However, sometimes, certain medicines can contribute to that zith, mino and biaxin are the most likely. If you have new balance issue and are on any of those, you could ask your LLMD to switch.

Even acetaminophen can harm the ears system as it is hard on the liver and results in higher total toxic load. Liver support often helps. That is discussed below. You might save this thread to your computer file for easy reference:

I've had both at the same time. Sometimes one at a time, my brain stuff was pretty much constant. I was put on a beta blocker with the heart stuff. Sometimes it went through the beta blocker. Good luck.
