I get burning in my arms, legs and chest area when I am symptomatic. I also itch on my face and hands and get this creepy, crawly feeling on my legs, arms and scalp. Is this normal in lyme?

Thanks all!!!

I'm not itchy (though I was when I first started abx) but I still get the feeling there are things crawling around in my hair or on the side of my face.

It makes me crazy, and even though I "know" this is all part of a herx, there are times I walk to a mirror and check

When you say burning, do you mean like skin burning pain? I most definately get that a lot (Im having a huge flare of it right now). I hear it can be common in Lyme patients. I wish I knew exactly what would help it.
