I brought attention to this symptom of mine about two years ago. This symptom seems as if it wants to hang out. I am usning KEtek and amantadine and will follow with another antibiot after two weeks. Anyone else out there with advice.

Could be nerve damage caused by lyme. This guy had nerve damage on another forum and he took NAME: R****rd INJURY: Nerve damage from injection in lower left side {see my postings} WHEN: March 2001 RECOVERY: slow, almost back to 100 %. CURRENT CONDITION: a slight inconvenient sensation on the left side of the tongue. (No pain, sense of taste back to normal) MEDICATIONS/THERAPIES: Only Vitamin B for several months
I would take complexB also mg,cq10. Iam guessing your LLMD knows about this?

So you had this same symptom even before taking antibiotics?
If it is a symptom that you experience while on antibiotics then make sure it is not a Stevens'-Johnson Syndrome reaction. I believe that is the way it is spelled.
You can look it up online.

Could be also accumulation of toxin. Use some detox such as Questran.

Nerve damage...likely. B vits and CoQ10 and Mg...and research copper (Cu).
It works in balance with Zn and vitamin C...which are very likely low. They normally work inversely... if you take *too much* copper, zinc and vitamin C drop. If you take *too much* zinc and vitamin C, copper drops.
That's what makes this so hard...one nutrient low/too high impacts so many others...and in this disease, several nutrients are deficient.
This pathogen has a huge "appetite".

For me these symptoms are entirely diet related, or I should say food since intake of ANY food makes the problem worse. I feel SO much better if I don't eat for a day, but obviously that's not a long term solution.
Some foods are more troublesome than others for me. Carbohydrates, particularly fruit sugar (frutose) are worse than protein or fat.
It's not acid reflux because acid reducing meds only make the problem worse.
Anything that decreases gut transit time reduces the symptoms for me. Also, I've learned to take a capsule of ginger with each meal because it helps a bunch.
Isn't ginger often served with sushi because it tends to kill off parasites? Maybe that's why ginger helps?
