Topic: Finger Pain and Dizziness

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. Over the past couple of weeks I have had pain in my one finger. It's not swollen or red, just hurts to the touch. Also, I am now dizzy. I'm thinking the dizziness is due to lack of iron (have been bleeding for over 2 months). Any thoughts on the finger pain? I am diagnosed with lyme, bartonella, babesia, mycoplasma and parvo.

Thanks!

Hi sandim, I recently posted about finger pain so you can run a search and find that thread for more info if you'd like.

I'm sorry that you are struggling with this. Finger pain is debilitating. Mine sounds a little different than yours though. All of my fingers are affected at the same time.

I have extreme pain, stiffness, and swelling. To the point where I have a difficult time bending my fingers to open or close my hand, to be able to use my hand at all. Not able to grasp anything. Not able to hold and open things... Difficult to use my hand at all.

At the same time my knees, hips, and feet/toes are flaring in the same way with the pain, stiffness, and swelling. Difficult to move, bend, and use them.

I've also been having more migraines, 5-6 per week, some lasting more than one day. Rescue migraine medicine not working [Frown]

Other symptoms are increased overwhelming fatigue, falling asleep during the day, and worse GI symptoms.

Last time this happened the only treatment that helped was for Bartonella. So my doctor is treating this like a bad bartonella flare. Sad thing is I was already on high dose Levaquin when these symptoms started...

Doc is also testing me for RA, scary!

It seems like we start to get on infection under control and another pops up and starts to flare again. So frustrating!

Good luck to you, hope you find your answer.
