Here I am again.... lyme + (CDC)in 2006. Definite neurological involvement with + MRI, speech deficits, etc. Tested positive for Babesia, Bartonella, and Myco..All from a tick!!! Combined Abx combined with herbs. Saw an LLMD in CA and a naturo path in OR. Rocky times, but improved-Thank God! I am now having the fatigue symptoms and really hard to wake up in the am and cope with life. I would rather stay home and do nothing. I work full time but having a really hard time coping. Any ideas, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening

Ronnie-I am sorry to hear the fatigue is back. I can relate to working f/t and being so darn tired every day. Is there anyway your fatigue could be non-lyme related, say from anemia or say sleep apnea etc? Are you taking any seasonal meds, like allergy pills etc. , that may be contributing to fatigue? I am so hoping that it's not lyme rearing it's head again for you. Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Or could it be depression?
Any chance you can revisit your LLMD?

I am off treatment and have been for a year. Lately, my sleep has been interrupted during the
night. My inability to sleep has been my lyme pattern. I pray that the lyme isn't coming back and
have just been doing herbs for parasites. I have bad asthma so doing HTP5 isn't an option. It is
just wait and see for me.

New western blot done?
Chronic mycoplasma has to be treated for about 3 years. Bayesian often comes back.
Would do Igenix and fry lab testing.

Hi thank for your support. Did not go back to LLMD Yes, was diagnosed with Mycoplasma. I keep thinking bartonella because of bone pain and the drowsiness and stiff neck...

Get to the LLMD!
The hallmark of babesia is extreme fatigue.

Ditto. Need to rule things out. At one point, it was hard for me to tease out if it was the babesia that wasn't treated effectively enough and/or yeast coming back.
Don't suffer - get the help you deserve.

A lot of us end up losing our ability to detox mold after having Lyme, if you are mold susceptible. 25% of us have these genes.
That is what happened to me. Summer has its own challenges because of all of the a/c and they are terrible for mold growth. I will feel good, and boom, get a mold hit, and I'm sick again.
It is a real challenge having to deal with this on top of everything else. I got a boatload of infections from the bite too. I'm never sure if it's infections or mold. I'm still on abx, I'm treating everything at once, so for me, it's gotta be the mold.
