Does anyone have symptoms of pain and numbness in the feet? My wife is having those symptoms and hoping they go away soon but they seem to be getting worse.
Any meds or supplements that seem to help? Thanks!

Hi, Lots of people with Lyme have neuropathy. I have had it off and on for years. When I was under the care of an LLMD and taking antibiotics, it went away. It has also gone away
while taking herbs for Lyme. Taking B12 is supposed to help with neuropathy but that's just treating the symptoms (which is great) but you have to kill the disease that is causing the neuropathy to be truly free from it.
You might google "Lyme Neuropathy and read the information that comes up.

No, she just started getting symptoms about 6 months ago. She is currently doing herbal protocol and doesn't want to start antibiotics unless absolutely necessary.
Her LLMD says herbal and macro supplements can kill bugs. So far they have helped her back pain and bladder issues. I'd like to see her take antibiotics but can't make that decision for her.

There is a cream that treats neuropathy. Penetrex thru Amazon. It's expensive but effective. Soaking my feet at night in warm water to which I've added Epsom Salts helps a lot. I think it's caused by either Lyme Borrelia or Bartonella but am not sure.
Is your wife taking Cat's Claw? It's a powerful killer of Borellia's spirochetes. For Bart, there's Japanese Knotweed. I think some Lyme sufferers take antibiotics for a while, then switch to herbs, then back to abx, etc. I've heard this has been very effective.
