That is easy at this stage (pain is mild), my memory and concentration. I have a hard time telling someone a story. I will stop right in the middle and say " what was I talking about?"
That makes you look real dingy!!
#3 the fact that I have had to edit this post 2xs!!!!!! Can not spell or type anymore!

Different pains everyday but overall I would say always being tired. Except on those days when back pain is real bad. It seems as if there is a new pain or symptom all the time. Swollen glands where my first sign. Then swollen spleen. Then headaches. Backaches. Kneeaches. Saturday at the beach out of the blue I lost the feeling in two fingers. That only lasted a couple hours. I get so spacey at times I totally forget what I was doing and sometimes what day it is.

The headaches........ those unrelenting behind-the-eyes, pressure headaches that make me feel crawling into bed and pulling the covers over my head
never have figured out who to blame those on - lyme, babs or bart -

My LLMD, Dr. C of MO, who sees hundreds of patients, says that the #1 and #2 complaints of his Lyme patients, is, PAIN AND FATIGUE or FATIGUE AND PAIN.

I'd say the fatigue as my "normal" problem.
My really wacky one that drives me crazy is my startle response. While I'm driving I see a car coming to a stop sign on a side road and I JUMP thinking he's going to run in to me. Sudden noises, and bugs flying in my peripheral vision send adrenaline pumping through me. Argh. Phones ringing...don't get me started...

It used to be the brain fog and memory problems, but that has gotten so much better these days. Right now the behind the eyes headaches has to be my number one complaint. ( I think its Babs too)

My symptoms wax and wane constantly, so what it my #1 problem now may not be this afternoon. My big 3 are brain fog, muscle pain, and (I'm trying to remember what the other one was from just a moment ago - danged fog) oh yeah, fatigue. Posts: 1307 | From TX | Registered: Sep 2002

The frustrating part is when one day I do just fine doing everything I want and the next day I can't move I hurt so bad! That is hard to explain to people and to myself!

Probably the tingling feet and hands. Having to find the right position to fall asleep in. If I get the wrong position and wakeup I can't move my arms they are so painful. Oh yeah and the fatigue especially in the late afternoon.

Definitely the heart symptoms are the worst and most frightening for me! Posts: 802 | From Reading, PA, USA | Registered: Aug 2001

The intractable insomnia. I don't even feel human anymore and can't be anywhere early in the morning. Family (friends are gone) can't wrap their brain around it.

Mostly my pain begins in my buttocks down to my toes, I don't see alot of people with this buttocks pain, that when sitting it feels like your sitting on cement even though your on the couch/bed, etc. Pins & Needles in my arms and legs is also annoying because when I turn to walk I will stumble because my legs just won't move when my body says let's go. Anyone else with buttocks pain please let me know.

For me right now it's fatigue. The kind of fatigue that makes MOVING a chore. Where you just lie in bed with your eyes closed because there is no energy to do anything else. Tied for second to that would be headaches and brain fog.
