About a year and a half ago I started experiencing difficulty
sleeping because I always felt like I had to pee but never could
actually urinate. I talked to my LLMD about the issue and she
said that it most likely was not a UTI since I was taking
antibiotics at the time for treatment and she suggested
increasing my dosage of probiotics and she said also that
sometimes the Lyme bacteria can embed in the bladder to cause
that symptom. I am now a year and a half out and I am NOT
currently being treated--I am trying to figure out where to go, it
feels like the treatment has plateaued-- but I am still
experiencing some symptoms, however these symptoms are
unlike what I experienced at the beginning of my history with
Lyme. I now have arm tremors in my hands once in a while
whereas before I only ever had muscle twitches. Also, it feels like
the bladder issue is getting worse, but that could of course
perhaps be something else UTI, yeast? I also have been feeling
somewhat congested, short of breath, and extra tired fatigue;
however I do smoke a fair amount of marijuana so that could
account for those symptoms. I also have quite often bouts of
queasiness/nausea. I am currently moving and so having a very
hard time staying in really good touch with my doctor who is
very busy and I am trying to figure out where my Lyme treatment
should go without spending a fortune in doctor bills. If anyone
would like to help me with a few suggestions I'd be forever
grateful! Just private message me.

Your Babesia is back. Take herbs while you figure out your next step.
Artemisinin, Cryptolepsis, Sida Acuta, Enula, Quina - all are good options.
My bladder spasms resolved with magnesium. I needed a ton of it. Mg relaxes smooth muscle. If you are deficient, the bladder always feels distended, but you can't pee. It's miserable.
I've also seen this symptom resolve with treatment for Lyme and co's. With no additional magnesium.

I think my cycstitis that made me feel like I always needed to pee was fungus/bacteria driven. I am on Nystatin now and doing much better. Crazy as it sounds, when I started doing enemas I found the pain and irritation of the bladder got a lot better. Maybe I was cleaning out fungus/bacteria. The bowels and bladder seem to be closely conneted.
