Hello. Been sick since March 2007. Diagnosed finally in Sept. from LLMD. Doxy 8 weeks. Now on Ceftin 1 month (4 pills a day 500mg).Have had every symptom in the book til now.

Question: Been having electric shocks in Left hand, Left foot, and in head.They are very intense last between 2- 5 seconds. Have had numbness and tingles before but not like this Also, having "day sweats". Yea, Day sweats!

Was on Lexapro for 4 months and switched to wellbutrin 11 days ago. Think its Lymes related or from the Anti- deppresant switch?

Hi sal66
Get good b complex vitamins and magnesium and try having a B-12 shot its really helping me sofar.
And you may want tested for babsiosis or at least try a round or two of mepron.See if those help.

Oh my god, I rememebr those!!!!!!!!!!! I went through a phase, it was BEFORE abx (well, after my initial 30 days Doxy and about 8-9 months AFTER that)(when i was allowed to decline w/o tx) and for about two weeks- a week and a half- I was electrified!!! Everything I touched would shock me- it was AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! But then it went away, come back once more when I was herxing!! Was so weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was scared to touch any metal-

Tested negative for Babs. Taking USANA essential vitamins. For awhile it was just numbness and some tingling. Now it's like static electricity in my arm and hand 2-3 second shocks. Day sweats also. On Lyrica and trying to get off. Any ideas? Too much weight gain. Also, just stopped Lexapro and switched to Wellbutrin 10 dyas ago,if this helps.

The Lyrica is probably what would help you the most with these symptoms. Can you hold off on getting off of it for now?
