tired of blaming lyme for something that witht he stress,maybe I just broke down.

Any suggestions? Minimal physical symptoms, but usual electric shocks in hips... I have

had neurological lyme, spect showed it, but I'm scared that I'm left with this, which

feels nothing like me.

Thanks in advance. I'm tired of thinking, I just get my rocephin every day and hope for

the best like everyone else. Stress makes it worse, but maybe this is me. I take

xanax and am on lexapro 10 mg. My lyme psych thinks its the lyme, the

depersonalization is unreal. Totally not feeling the reality of your life or loved

ones.

Anyone have similar experiences?

Your liver is under stress but that could be very well from your treatment rather than your LD.

lexapro may not be working or maybe up it to 20 mg to see what happens( different antidepressants work differently for each individual

Take a herbal cleansing remedy for the liver , perhaps something with milk thistle , it will help cleanse and support the liver so that it functions better

I have blood pulled every Thursday and I herx on a tight schedule, every 3-4 weeks like clockwork. The herx is very intense, lasts exactly 5 days and does not coincide with my periods.

Normally all of my values are pretty much within normal limits - on herx weeks my CRP shoots up, my sedi rate shoots up in the 90's (usually ~10 for me), my liver values go nuts, my electrolytes are off and my white count drops. At first this scared my PCP but with coaching from my LLMD she has come to accept this as "proof" of what is going on with me and justification to go to bat against my insurance company to get me treatment.

I agree though - it is not realistic to pull the lyme card for everything in our life. Even "normal" people have stiff, sore days, fatigue and days when their brain is in a fog. Anything that happens outside of the 5 day herx, I pay attention to but I realize that real life has its ups and downs independent of lyme as well.
