Hi Polar, I have all that that you describe. Tonight at work my legs were so weak I was scared I couldnt stand any longer. i hate that feeling.

I always feel like I have a current running through me too. It feels like im standing on a blow dryer.

Polar blast,

Do you have to get up and move to make your legs better?

Are they worse at night when you try to sit still?

Does it feel like you have bugs crawling on them?

If you are low on iron it can cause restless legs.

Also mirapex which you need a prescription for does wonders.

Hi Polar,

I felt at times before treatment like I was being plugged into an electrical socket, and my thigh muscles especially just felt like they had taken a very long vacation.

I really felt for me these were symptoms of Babesia more than lyme.

If you haven't been tested for babesia I would be. My blood titer test was negative buy my FISH test through IgeneX was positive for Babs.

You can google FISH and IgeneX and an article will come up about the test.

Take care!
