A few nights ago my hands suddenly hurt so bad that i was in tears and could not sleep for two nights. It was as if I had slammed both hands in a car door.
After a few days of fish oil and ginger, the pain has gone down, but the fingertips still feel like I dipped them in burning oil.
Is this a symptom of Bartonella? RA? I have been off antibiotics for about five months. I normally have sore joints in my hands but this is something much more severe than i am used to.
THanks, all!

I also have sore, tingling, burning fingertips . Also the whole hand. Doctor attributes it to bartonella. I also have it in the feet. Also dx with chronic inflammatory demylinating polyneuropathy, caused by autoimmune disease , brought on my lyme disease. God bless Theresa

I don't know what causes it. I just know that I started taking Samento + Banderol for Lyme, Artemisinin for Babesia and Resveratrol for Bartonella and after a while my hands didn't hurt anymore.

Forgot to mention that in Buhner's latest book on Babesia, he recommends Cryptolepis and I've been taking it. It caused me to herx so I know it's working!

Theresa, I'm getting it in the feet too...ughh. I am so sorry you are dealing with CIDP. I looked it up here:
I do have the symptoms listed, as well as CVID -- both are supposed to be helped with IVIG. How did you find a neurologist who can diagnose and treat this?
Tulips, that is great that the natural supplements and herbs are working for you! I have tried most of them but was unable to tolerate the side effects. Crypto especially is a hard one to handdle

Cottonbrain, I have a a well known for my area llmd. She diagnosed me with autoimmune, cidp caused by lyme. She referred me to a neuromuscular neurolgist who does ivig and is good at getting approval.
I was doing every week, then ever other back to every week then every other again I feel it only helps when I do every week. I also think the neuro md doesn't have a good followup. I had to take a break
From iv doxy and all the other drugs due to liver. Because of this I went to an integrative center who specializes in tic diseases and will be getting the
results of those tests on September 8th. I am basically back to square one right now with symptoms.
My liver specialist warned me and is not happy about any of my treatmdnts. I'm hoping the integrative md will have some answers.
Have you had any nerve conduction testing. The neuro md said I was a classic example of what happens to chronic lyme patients.
Gd bless Theresa
