anyone have anything like this before or know anyone that has had it. It actually happens in other parts of the body too when it decides to flair
but the times its in my head it fluctuates between my head and chest area
it literally feels like patches of nerves are short circuiting.If I lean my head forward sometimes, it kind throbs with this non painful nerve sensation nothing like I have ever felt before.
Im thinking the wort but hope its just a reaction to toxins that I need to clean out or something
Hope some one can help with input on this

I can't help other than to say that I also get these spontaneous 'shocks' from time to time. Sometimes my limb will jump, but usually it's just a sensation, sometimes a bit painful. They happen in my head and in my arms and legs usually. I've always attributed it to neurological Lyme, like twitching.
My LLMD wrote on my diagnosis sheet that these are attributable to Babesia, but I'm sure it could be just plain ol Lyme too!

I get these sensations too. Today, when I bent down to pick something up, I had a weird sensation in my head as though the bacteria or toxins were moving in that area.
I also have a constant head buzzing and subtle internal vibrating feeling that seems as though it could also be toxins or bacteria wreaking havoc. This is very distracting when interacting with others...
While on the topic, I also hear lots squishy, crackling sounds when I turn my head - but have had this a long time before my diagnosis (like rice crispies 'snack, crackle, pop').
You mentioned your chest also. I have feel this strange heaviness in my chest when I bend down as though the lyme bacteria have settled there. It is almost like a pleurisy. I don't think it has affected my breathing. I can still exercise.
It always helps to know that others are experiencing similar. I hope it is just plain old Lyme - and these sensations will gradually go away as we get better. Posts: 2387 | From New England | Registered: Aug 2011

- Yep. Actually, "short circuiting" is exactly what is happening.
Very common with lyme and during treatment.
Be sure you are free of ALL food additives. Many are MSG in disguise and are very toxic to nerves.

Along with targeting infection(s), and supporting the liver,
Antioxidants to help reduce inflammation - and Myelin Sheath and nerve fiber support (B-vitamins, Fish oil, magnesium, etc.) - should help. -

- You probably are clear of additives but, just to be sure:
Very impressive article relevant for all neurological conditions / infections. -

I wish my brain could absorb a small amount of what is written in those articles. Thank you anyhow, Keebler.
If anyone has the ability to paraphrase so that my Lyme brain could better understand - it would be greatly appreciated.
I have read about MSG, spartame and 'natural flavors' and know to avoid...

- dbpei,
Hey, I can't read it, either. It's just good to know that there is that connection. I usually read the first and last lines, then maybe the first and last paragraphs.
Pull out the key points and then just let it go. Basically, the brain swells from lyme. So, that causes all kinds of symptoms, of course.
My next thing is to then move onto to what I can DO about that - best to consult LLMD of LL ND if one has one but I don't. I remember to check on my antioxidants, etc.
I don't have to understand all the details but it helps me to see the relationships - and glad that some doctors out there are still wanting to learn about lyme and don't discount it.
It helps me have more patience with myself, too. -
