Good question.
Nothin' good, that's for sure, no matter how long or short the symptom sticks around.
Weakness in right leg started in late 1995. After I broke my ankle in 2001, started to have a lot of trouble walking. Seemed to have forgotten how. Have been walking with a cane since 9/2003. Balance is very bad. Oddly enough, now the right leg is relatively strong; stronger than the left.

Sleep disturbances, back pain and tinnitus.
I am leaving out permanent damage to my eyesight because I know it is permanent. The back pain and tinnitus may also be permanent, but it is hard to tell since those do have fluctuations.

1. Physical - Aches in my shoulder, elbows and wrists that wax and wane over the day. Sudden shooting, disabling burning pain from shoulder down right arm which doubles me over and brings inadvertant tears streaming. Muscle aches that move around my arms. And, an unexplained 2" dimple in my uper arm muscle that burns a lot. 2. Neuro - Brain fog, I got stopped by a policeman last week who wanted to know if I knew how to drive. 3. Emotional changes - I used to do good bit of public speaking. I don't dare now since I burst out in tears twice without warning.

Me (have had many sx, including arthritis, GI dysfunction, muscle pain and weakness, exhaustion, brainfog, anxiety) = INSOMNIA AAARGH = Exhaustion, improving somewhat - confusion, but that's really improving = not much headache or body pain left, no arthritis, some muscle weakness.
The Hubby, who's had every symptom at one time or another: - exhaustion - anxiety, confusion, short term memory loss - continuous muscle and joint achiness and muscle weakness, although much better than it was. - sleeps a LOT, often unrefreshing sleep.

Widspread muscle fasiculations,parathesia, and floaters....those seem to be the symptoms that don't go away even while on abx. My other symptoms seem to come & go, but these seem to be here to stay Posts: 144 | From Marysville, Ohio | Registered: Apr 2003

I must have the same strain as you I totally agree. I have always heard Lyme symptoms comes in cycles but the fasiculations, floaters, and parathesia are a constant for me too.

Great topic!!!
Lack of energy bordering on exhaustion. Fogginess. Lack of concentration even if great effort is applied. Multitasking impossible - either mental or physical - just coordinate s***t!!! Short term memory loss. I can't remember what else....

I haven't been diagnosed with Lyme yet I awaiting my western blot to come back. I have question for the group. I seem to exhibit and 2nd alot of these symptoms that are previously mentioned in the posts, but I am curious has anyone experienced alot of cracking of joints? I mean I know everyone gets that in the winter time, but mine seem almost excessive. Posts: 204 | Registered: Jan 2005

I'm surprised nobody stated flu-like feeling without the flu? Am I alone on this, it's a lot like brain fog but it feels like the flu is about to come on but never does?
I have nuero, headaches, weakness, had vertigo for 6 months, feel out of body, constant sense of sickness, sometimes I'm hot, sometimes I'm cold, things so crazy I can't list them all. I've had it since 1991 from when I lived in Norwalk, CT.

My eyes. Still hurt and somewhat light-sensitive. Been on abx for a year and don't think it's getting to "it" there. My eyes are where my sxs first started. Still have night tremors sometimes, electrical current in legs and twitching but the eyes bug me the most.

Definitely my new symptoms, that I assume are lyme related. Heaviness in chest, pain in breast and armpit, radiating down, and numb and tingling fingers. All on the left side.
NOT FUN!
The worst when I was undiagnosed was muscle twitching, I could see my muscles popping under the skin. Numbness and tingling of extremities. Skin itching.
LYME SUCKS!

After 5 years of treatment and a relaspe, while on abx I might add. Who knows did I get bite again, that's the million dollar question?
I have always had jaw pain to some degree, right temple pain, and sometimes eye pressure.
That's a really good day for me.
I would not have enough energy to tell you about a really bad day.

Bladder pain. It was one of my last symptoms that I got and it is here to stay (nerve related damage I believe)
