For about a month now, I have been hearing things randomly. Usually in my bedroom when I am alone and it is quiet.

It sounds like a very distant radio playing a talk show. All I hear is the voices. It's really creepy.

Also, when I'm in that "mode" if I hear a normal sound (such as someone opening the door or something brushing against my window) it makes me startle so bad! I swear, I almost jump out of my skin and my heart starts pounding.

I'm freaked out by this. I'm also having migraines daily now and my temper is embarrassing. I go off on my husband in these psychotic rages for no reason. They last about 10 minutes and he finally calms me down.

Should I be heading to the mental hospital? Or is waiting to see a LLMD in October still a good idea?

I think with migraines you can hear things and also see things. Lyme is probably the culprit to the migraines.

Lyme can sure make you feel like you are loosing it. I hope you have a good LLMD and can get well quickly.

YES! I have this!!!
I do believe it is Lyme related because I remember once my LLMD asking if I heard voices or "things".

I told him YES...but not like voices telling me to do this and that etc and I just sort of laughed it off.

I hear usually voices that I recognize, or voices that I've heard before. I can't make out what they say usually...and it's always just a brief moment and not ongoing.

I hear music, I hear what I would assume was a TV, I hear my children, I hear voices that I've heard at the grocery store etc.

I use to have the same psychotic rages that you describe..I was honestly afraid of myself and of what I was possibly capable of. That did get a LOT better when I was on Zithromax. So I think maybe it was Bart even though I test neg. for it every time.

Don't freak too much...I'm sure we aren't the only ones and it will get better with proper treatment

Hi Beth these links may be able to help you. What you have is do to LD and these little Ba------dancing in your brain.

Have your husband read them.

Wow! I am so glad to hear this because I constantly hear music. I have walked around the house trying to find out where it is coming from. The last couple of days, I swear my husband is calling me but it isn't him. It is really freaky. I start meds tomorrow so I hope it helps. Everyone thinks I am losing my mind. Not to mention that I am always mixing my words up. So I am not crazy?????

Yes! I sometimes hear music, too. Every once in a while I hear a ringing telephone. It's all very faint, but I hear it.
