is it common for lyme/ co's to cause rt sided tightness.

I mean I am trying to keep as calm as possible when I get this from time to time throughout the month.

Im not sure if its what is known as a muscle spasm on the rt side or not but it is strange it is always the rt side not left.

is this commonly heard of in with this disease?

I have severe anxiety with all of this and worry myself sick wondering if its something more serious.

I hope not.
These docs sure dont help.
I am scheduling to see a rhuem. but dont feel Im gonna get any answers regardless.

I guess I just need to hear that this is something common from lyme-co's.

can anyone help me with some answers

Just wanted to let you know that my tightness always manifests more on the left side and all of my physical symptoms are worse on my left side

I don't think it really matters what side it is

ThIs is always worse when herxing too

Have you been diagnosed with Lyme yet or have seen an llmd and started treatment?

I have been diagnosed with lyme but I am still not a believer for some reason....a believer that this part of it all is the lyme and co-s

im ot sure why....I just feel an unsettling feeling inside that its something else.

It could be my worry about all of the weird unsettling feelings but I dont know.
can I ask can you describe to me what all you feel on your left side?

Do you have a LLMD? At your first thread of this same title over in the General Forum see the reply: "WHY you need an ILADS educated LLMD"

A good LLMD can distinguish between lyme and other things. You should be assessed for other tick-borne infections -- and might be assessed for other stealth infections, too. A good LLMD will know how to proceed.

MOLD, PARASITES, HEAVY METALS, LIVER conditions are all part of what a LLMD considers, too.

As for believing whether or not lyme can cause neurological problems, here are a few explanations:

Bringing this over from your "twin" thread:

-
http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=015508;p=0

Diagnosing Lyme Disease (&/or whatever else is going on)

Other tick-borne infections and other chronic stealth infections - as well as certain conditions - that can hold us back are discussed here.

==================

http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=013239;p=0

(What ILADS is) . . . WHY you need an ILADS-educated, Lyme Literate Doctor - starting with assessment / evaluation.

=================

In one of those is a "Naturopathic" thread. Near the end of that you will find

Safe BODY WORK links - Upledger or Feldenkrais each are good methods.

Gentle YOGA or Qi Gong stretches may also be of help. Very gentle.

Should have posted this first. Carol in PA has the best set for this but

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY can cause much of what you describe, too. It goes with lyme.

Magnesium Glycinate, Citrate or . . . (just not a cheap kind as some are useless).

Peter Gillham's Natural CALM is a good one.
