I am a fair way towards getting better, however still have some niggling symtoms remaining which I am wondering if they are lyme or candida.
Some new symptoms have emerged since christmas. I'll admit that I have not been doing as well with my lyme diet as I should be. Could it be candida? I just don't know how severe this can be.
symptoms left.
muscle twitching muscle aches in legs muscle jerks in legs crawling/vibrating feelings return of occasional heart palps since christmas occasional anxiety
I would say I'm feeling pretty good most days, but just having some niggles and feeling like some of these are getting worse.
I have started my diet again and am taking pau d arco and garlic to help control yeast. I have felt a bit funny in the last couple of days - light headed, more palps, ache in chest, etc which is maybe a candida herx.
I am thinking about seeing if my doctor can prescribe some diflucan or something. Does this react with other abx? I'm on rifampin, clarithromycin and tinidazole.
I am also taking probiotics.
Thanks
Kelly

niggles... I got a kick out of that word must be an Australian thing, but on a more serious note I have all of the symptoms you mention and mine are definetly from the lyme, as I have just begun treatment.
I'm guessing just keep going until they are gone but definetly avoid sugar and get on a good probiotic if you aren't already.
Take Care, Ann

so you have been on tx about a yr?
i was on for two yrs-real high dose orasl and doc and i decided to see what would happen if i came off. my bad fatigue and severe joint pain was gone-but had stuff left over like you.
for two years i detoxed and fought candida and many sx went away that i thought were lyme...
don't know if you have txed long enough-but if you feel pretty good and have hit everything then maybe you might try it and see what happens

I have been on treatment since May so close to a year.
I would find it surprising if I went backwards whilst on meds. Tinidazole has shaken things up a bit, but planning to continue treating for a couple more months than hopefully able to get off the abx for a trial.

Forgot to mention I have recently realised that my legs feel worse when I've eaten badly that day. Takes an hour or so to come on which points to yeast.
I am back on the straight and narrow now and hopefully it will make a difference!

Kelly .. me too. I would have the twitching and jerking as I'm lying in bed trying to go to sleep.... and it would be during times I was misbehaving on the eating !!
