I see some that have trouble writing and others that seem to be OK. My brain is shot can't string a sentence without screwing up or leaving words out.
does all Lyme attack the brain or some don't have that strain?

It's so embarrassing i can't spell anymore and people must think i am dumb, Lyme is so frustrating at times.

I had terrible lyme brain before my diagnosis.

I had to ask my husband what my birthday was when I was filling out forms...I couldn't remember my birthday!!!! [Frown]

My brain is almost back to normal with treatment. I never have been the brightest crayon in the box. [lol]

LOL! thanks joalo that makes me feel good i hope my brain recovers too my spect scan was awful. I did 18 months of combo oral abx but LLMD said some damage to brain is not reversible so i am glad just to be alive.
