Other, more senior members of this site with more knowledge than me (I am relatively new and still in the process of learning and treating my own Lyme) can speak to this better but from what I've gathered from this site, cognitive function can definitely be impaired and Lyme could certainly be the cause.
Other members can probably suggest certain things that will help you and recommend an LLMD in your area if you want to go that route.
I know personally a lot of times it feels like my brain is just foggy and my thoughts don't process like they used to. Things that would take me no time all to think through/process take much longer

Thank you. If I could get my brain back I might have a life again.
I just didn't think it could be lyme since my physical symptoms have abated but mentally I'm in a bad place.

Bartender Bonnie I read the article you linked. Depersonalization really struck a chord with me. I haven't had a word for how I feel inside but I do now. Thanks

I was able to get my brain back when I found out I was hypothyroid and went on Armour thyroid. That's something else you could check out with your doctor, who would run thyroid tests on you to see whether you're low thyroid.

Yes, derealisation and depersonalization are VERY common with neuroborreliosis. It's not you, its Lyme disease, I'd get more treatment (Lyme is very hard to get rid of and flare-ups after remission need to get treated or it will come back).

I have high levels of candida as per a recent Real Time test. I've been on a candida diet, low dose naltrexone, and binders and my brain has definitely lost some fog.
