I'm back, not sure if anyone here now remembers me. I was posting for a few months toward the end of my lyme treatment.
I had a series of major life events such as moving and drastically increasing my workload (20+ hrs of overtime) so I just kind of lost touch.
About two months after stopping abx I had another tick on my leg, got it off within a few hours.
Within a couple of months I started to have some serious visual problems:
Visual Snow, Floaters, Benign Fasciculation Syndrome, Blue Field Entoptic Phenomenon, Palinopsia
Of course no eye doc or nuero eye doc could say what was wrong.
Had another surgery, this time they used the corisone injection and I feel worse than I did the first time around.
I tested negative for lyme on the western blot and all, but my doc said that it's probably due to the cortisone shot.
Have low cd8/cd57 and low igg subclasses 2 and 4 with low immunogloben.
I was just curious if anyone else had similar vision problems or issues with the low igg levels. I've been searching and have found forums with those with the visual disturbances but not much about the igg levels.
So far I'm on 100mg Minocycline 2x day to see if I" herx and go from there.
Sorry again for my absence, this time around I will stay in touch! (even if only every so often)
Thank you all for reading and I hope that you are doing well with your journey to beat this affliction. I do have extensive experience with lyme, so if any new members have any questions feel free to pm me.
