I have had problems with dizziness and feeling kind of out of it. Is that a Lyme disease symptom that people have experienced?

sadly yes. It means the lyme is affecting your central nervous system. It is a common symptom. For me it has been one of the hardest to get rid of. Been dizzy off and on for two and a half years. But it has gottens slowly a little bit better with antibiotics.

DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA have been a major problem. Occasionally I can't drive because of this.

It has gotten better w/ meds.

Heck yeah.

I had 24/7 non stop, non retracting vertigo for five months straight.

I still occassionally get dizziness ( totally different than vertigo)
