one question-

is there anyone who has get back his complete cognitive potential after more than one year with neuro-lyme?

Or do I have to assume that I will never be that sharp as I was, even if after a complete cure of lyme?

(sorry for the bad english)

This might be a little premature but I am having some success with Tindimax.

It has been really rough going with fatigue and some crying episodes here and there, but I have definitely noticed improvement with brain fog and my vocabulary.

Like I said it might be premature. I am only in my second month, and the herxing has been difficult at times.

I guess I am back. A little rusty from lack of use, but yes, I guess my head is fine. I can't say 100%, as it's difficult to compare...

Another guy, Jimbob, even tested his IQ lately, he scored higher than average. A year ago, he thought he was going to die.

I'm fighting chills, and skin rashes for the moment, and trying to put some oil in my brain [Big Grin] , from rust of over a year.

I have regained a lot of what I lost in IQ points. My mental reflexes aren't as fast anymore, but the knowledge is now available once again. I no longer have lymenesia.

Everything improves with treatment. You need to be patient and kind with yourself as you heal.

I've been on abx now for about 19 months. I'm cognitively a lot better, but I am not nearly where I was before I got sick.

My short term memory is still compromised; I have trouble processing certain kinds of information; my problem-solving skills are dulled.

Everything's MUCH better than it was a year ago, but I still have room for a lot of improvement.

I was incredibly ill with neuro-cognitive lyme issues. The most I could spend time wise on the computer was 5-10 minutes. I read nothing for fun...had no motivation or brain ability.

I had 6 1/2 months of IV antibiotics...along with oral antibiotics. Followed by a year of IM bicillin and 40+ hyperbaric dives.

I am MUCH improved. Maybe 85-90% of what I used to be cognitively. I spent hours on the computer this afternoon searching air fares! No way could I have done that before, or even had the desire to make any kind of trip!

I had bad neuro lyme for 4 years and after one year of bicillin shots I'm back about 80%.
