What on earth is going on with you? This doesn't sound good to have to waddle through every day.

What is it you are on at the time.. if anything?

Have you been tested for coinfections and if so... were you ever treated?

How about sharing some background so we can take an outside look and see if we notice anything that could be addressed to help you?

And yes....

You CAN feel better... I have seen it happen over and over again.

Let's get you some help. I am willing to try if you want to share so we know what you are looking at in this mixed up mess.

By the way.. good to see you again!!!

Yes, you will get better...emotions can bring on some of the symptoms because they usually lower the immune system...especially depression. The recent breakup could be getting to you a little and then making the symptoms feel all that much worse.

Let us know a little more about what you're on etc., and perhaps we can give you more help...but in the mean time remember that you can get better...I've been fighting since 98 and I am better than I was back then. Not 100percent me but a lot better than a slug laying on the couch every day.

Sorry, I don't know you're medical history or anything, but have you been treated for babesia with Mepron/Zith?

Just slap me if you feel like it-----cause I do go on about Babesia.

I've had undiagnosed LD for 13+ years. Started ABX 15 months ago.

I had shortness of breath just out of the blue.

After completing 2 rounds of Mepron & it wasn't until I was completely off it, did I notice an inner calmness I'd never known before.

I also had had a fine tremor of the head which is about gone.

Mepron goes to the brain & can cause insomnia & severe depression. It makes you mean, too.

My LLMD told me Thursday that after going off Mepron it takes 3 to 4 months for the brain to heal itself.

I don't know his source of information. He tells me I overthink everything so I keep my questions to a minimum-------or I get the same sermonette about "the overthinking of a Lyme patient."

My memory is bad, but I remember the repetition every visit----VERY WELL.

Also, I know you'd rather hear words of comfort, but just trying to help you the best I can-------don't forget about liquid Magnesium Citrate from Wal-Mart.

You have to be vigilant about taking small amounts of Mg throughout the day; (of course, away from ABX-------which is a hassle.)

It really does help.

For my "over-thinking" Lyme brain, I'm going to take Magnesium Taurate by Cardiovascular Research Ltd., 60 capsules; $14; special order at the health food store.

Just got it today. I'm going to give it a whirl.

Taurine (amino acid) acts like an electrical cell-wall stabilizer. It's akin to taking low dose Klonopin or Dilantin, but not a replacement.

Some have tried Lexapro (antidepressant) for calming qualities.

For me, I've had to start antidepressants at a low dose & go slowly or I'd fall off the "chemical cliff."

I took Remeron & was brain dead the next day & couldn't get off the couch. My brain shut down to the point I was freezing to death & wrapped in a blanket.

It was bad.

Hoping things will look up for you. I hate to see you suffer in the meantime.

Maybe you'll find just the right thing to help you through this.

Green....you'll be fine...just listen to your body and keep up the good fight...in the end...it is our self preservation that wins the day.
