I have had pins & needles in my arms/hands, legs/feet for 3 years now and feet/leg/thigh pain no matter what medication I am on,also,quick jabs of pain in arms and legs and leg twitches, tongue feels like it's numb/buzzing. Diagnosed with chronic lyme pain and only on treatment for a year, does anyone know if this will go away and is this considered a type of paraylasis?

Doesn't sound like paralysis. You can have muscle weakness with Lyme, but I think all of the symptoms you mentioned are pretty common 'round here. What is your treatment looking like?

HI
Your symptoms are common to Lyme.
They are my primary symptoms.
You are welcome to email me

I think that the problem is nuerotoxins.

Peace,
BJG [Eek!]

I still have some of these too. It is not a big deal but also would like to know when they go away.

My LLMD said that while bb can cause neuropathy, coinfections can do the same. It took a few months with Bart Specific abx to help lessen these unpleasant sxs.
