I know there can be many different symptoms for lymes disease and was wondering if anyone else has had these or heard of someone having them.
Muscle twitches
Legs giving out
Muscle stiffness (especially in legs making it hard to walk)
Periodic Paralysis (usually in the morning and only in upper body like arms and hands as well as trouble swallowing and talking)
Have not been diagnosed with lymes... Is it a possibility?

I have had and still have some of those symptoms you describe. Stiff, twitches, legs giving out, paralysis waist down but not periodic.
I have "neuro" lyme and other co infections.
IMO lyme is a possibility. But I am not a doctor.
Diagnois for lyme is clinical...by symptoms and history and then by testing but you must have a "lyme literate" practioner do it.
Uneducated docs (or worse, oppositional) are legion in the arena of lyme and co infections.
I had so many symptoms that I did not recognize were even part of it until the diagnotic interview on my second bite/infection and also reading on here.
You are so focused on some of the symptoms you don't even realize some of the rest. I mean I didn't.
MD or ND or NP. Find one near you on "Seeking a Doctor". They have to be able to Rx. In my state an ND can Rx antibiotics.
