I about 8 years ago I had a batter with Anxiety. Prior to this I never had an issue with it. I was pretty bad. For a few months a dealt with it and finally thru some counseling I was able to beat it. (No meds). It was a this time that I also got some major muscle twitching which also went away pretty much on its own (lasted about 2 months). That was the end of it. I did get the once in a while anxiety moments but nothing I was not able to just handle by relaxing and prayer. I suspect that the issues of 8 years ago was lyme that somehow my body had under control and this is why is taking so long for me to beat this. (Over 1 year but about 7 month with proper tx)
Yesterday for the first time in years I got a mini panic attack. I was driving home late at night and was tired. My arm felt a big weird and a thought �oh something is wrong�. That is who my anx started years ago. I prayed and just reminded myself that God is really in control and that by worrying I am not fixing anything. This helped me from going into a full panic attack.
Today I am feeling a bit �off� somewhat the way I felt 8 years ago with a bit anx and spacy feeling. Really never felt this way since by first batter with anx (which maybe it was lyme?)
So here is my question�Could this be a good sign? On my last post TF gave me a great explanation about herx/kill off process but I am not herxing anymore after a few days of very bad days.
BTW I am on Bactrim DS 800 x2, Doxy 100 x4 (2/2) and Plaquinil 200 x 2. Is this a good dose for Lyme and what my LLMD thinks is Babs?

muscle twitching + anxiety = Bartonella.
I had been seeing a counselor for 2 years to deal with anxiety and depression and anger issues. I could not understand what my problem was. I felt completely not in control of myself.
I am no where near well, especially after changing protocols, but addressing Bart lifted a huge weight off of my brain. Things became so much easier and my motivation started coming back. I did not test psoitive and it took many people on these boards saying "YOU HAVE BART" to get me to demand bart treatment. I am glad I did. It has been 7 months, still treating, still herxing. It is a tough son of a bug....

I never had anxiety too bad, well I tried not to let it get the best of me. (easier said than done)
I know what you mean about feeling off. I think it is all the extra cortisol in your system from the anxiety.
After I got my adrenals taken care of, I feel solid. I can sit in a movie that is scary and never get that rush feeling anymore.
Pure encapsulations makes something called Cortisol Calm.. it is a pretty good product and I think supports the adrenals slightly. Not a standalone for adrenal supplements though.
Hang in there you have a great foundation in God, so you can't lose

I think we all get anxious. The problem gets big when we dont / cant deal with it. I think mines is under control and I dont let it control me.
I have a fear of flying and get scare that I will get a panic attack. That does not stop me from doing it...I flight quite often as I am not going to let fear/anx control me.
I really do think it was a herx because today I feel fine. Have a headache but nothing I cant deal with.
