Does anyone else have Lyme-related gastroparesis? I was ecently diagnosed with Lyme ... Don't know when I got it since I've been outdoorsy all my life ... I'm 24 and have hypothyroid and a pariphel neurapthy and now gastropersis ... I've been greetingone weird problem after another since I was about 12. Today its my first day of taking meds zithromax and amasadine. Will the gasrtparesis and neuropathy get better with treatment or are the permanant? I wasn--t perscbed a lot because my stmach is so sensitive right now that I can barely keep anything down so the llmd gave me stuff that. that would be easy on my stomach.

I came across this girl�s videos where she ended up having the Lyme borreliosis bacteria. It started out as stomach issues (LB has been known to impact the intestinal nerves).
I did not have gastroparesis, but did have intestinal paresis. My colon did not move. I had had it since my birth- for 30years- till I started antibiotic treatment. It went away during couple of weeks and it has never returned. It has been 6 years since then now.

Yes, I have Gastroparesis thought to be from Lyme/coinfections. I have had episodes in which various parts or all of my GI tract stop functioning (really messed up motility) and have had to be on IV food only (TPN via PICC line). I hope getting rid of the Lyme/coinfections makes this go away.
Some website links suggest Lyme/coinfection treatment can help with Gastroparesis and other Lyme-related GI problems:
