has anyone had alot of muscle loss with lyme? it seems like my muscles are just disappearing, like i have the body of a 60 year old woman and im only in my 20s. Does anyone know what causes this and what can help?

Katrinab,
Muscle loss was my first and main symptom. It is horrible. Did you have a CPK test? this measures muscle damage and/or heart muscle damage. I tested higher and higher for this over the last few months, yet doctor doesn't know what's wrong.

chiquita, I just ordered theBioPure Protein powder. I'm giving up on doctors. Even my LLMD is at a loss as to what else is going on besides Bartonella and thinks Lyme is gone because wbc IS always high? Says Lyme doesn't do that. So I have stopped antibiotics (gotta do that at some point anyway to test new TKR for infection)
thanks for the tip

I do drink protein shakes here and there, but they are hard to keep down with my nausea. they are so filling. ill keep trying though
