I'm told that I'm a glaucoma suspect even though I'm in my late 30s. However, everytime I see the eye specialist my eye pressure is different? Anywhere between 14-20?
Anyone out there have this as well? I'm still waiting for my blood work to come back so I'm not sure if this is a symptom of lyme or something else or not.

I can't tell you definitively what is going on, but I can tell you what has happened to me.
My eyes have really been problematic throughout my Lyme Tyme. Lots of floaters, changes in prescription strengths, convergence problems, light sensitivity, etc.
My eye pressure also zoomed up to 22/24. While on Rocephin IV, my eye pressure remained low at 12/14.
Once I went onto orals, the pressure went back up into the twenties. My opthamologist had been checking it every month. She has let two months go by and is waiting to see how I do after I start treating Babesia with malerone.
Personally, not on a medically informed basis, I think inflamation is what it is all about.
No matter, though, it still scares me to think about the long term repercussions of leaving it untreated.
Best wishes to you. Keep me posted if you learn anything enlightening. I'll do the same.
Best,
