I've been feeling depressed and sad this week, so I knew the neurolyme was getting worse.
This morning, woke up with:
- jiggling throughout body - fasciculations in face, esp. in sinuses (feels like crawling) - shocks in jaw and teeth - feeling scared for no reason - people's faces look scary to me - pain in chest and abdomen - difficulty urinating
This hasn't happened since my first big crash, three years ago. I really don't want to go back to feeling this way. It's VERY unsettling.
I'm not on any abx right now, waiting for a prescription to be filled. I did take 4 wks of doxy, but stopped 3 wks ago. Right now I'm just taking supplements and have been doing a no-gluten, lo carb diet for a week now.
Has anyone felt this way before?
Did you do anything that helped?
thanks! kate

I would get a LLMd all tose can be symptoms that you stated.Get on some abx's.
-------------------- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Remember Iam not a Doctor Just someone struggling like you with Tick Borne Diseases.
Luckily, I am with Dr. C. now. Just had my first appointment recently, and I'm looking forward to starting the antibiotics again. It's just the darn mail-order prescription thing, it's taking so long for them to come!
I haven't had a scary brain like this since I first got sick... I was hoping it would never come back.
It seems to be better this afternoon, so I'll just grit my teeth and wait for it to pass, hopefully soon.

Sorry you are going through this. Hopefully since you have been better, this will get better again.
You just described me, everyday.

Glad to hear you have an appointment with a LLMD soon
With treatment your symptoms will eventually go away.
I am so sorry you have to go thru this right now. I had many of the symptoms you described but they went away with treatment.
Hang in there

I have some of those symptoms to a lesser degree. They have been going down since I started treating my autonomic nervous system.
The doctor I work with on the ANS has a very set procedure for how he treats it. But for me, the big deal is I have a serious deficiency in amino acids. So amino acids plus B-12/folic acid is really starting to help.
I wake up feeling very anxious often, and also get motor tics at the same time. And I just can't get out of bed for hours when this happens. He really thinks this will go away, but suggested I try to cut back on my muscle relaxer.

Hope you feel releived of you sadness / uneasiness soon.
It's no fun having those feelings on top of being sick physically.
I suffered a couple years off and on with depression type things and would never go on zoloft or anything else my family doctor recommended.
FINALLY at a moment of total weekness I asked for valium and he gave me xanax.
I wish I had gotten the xanax sooner.
Now I don't have those terrible feelings and I use the xanax as a sleep aid here and there.
Those feelings have gone away with extensive treatment of the lyme and coinfections.
love and healing,
