For the past few days I've noticed my legs and feet changing color.
My legs tingle all the time as of late. I feel a lot of pressure. Kind of like..... when I was pregnant and my stomach was huge. Although I could stand to lose a few pounds, that's not the case.
I try not stay in one position for very long.
I am so frustrated and very emotional about it.
Ya know when you get to the point....one step forward, 10 steps back. That's where I am.
Any suggests?

First off, sorry you're feeling down about this, I and others can relate, but maybe I have a clue?
What is your dx? How long ago were you dx? What have your treatments been?
I ask this since I and others here suffer from what 'might' be vasculitis and/or hypercoagulation? This is said to be extremely common (80-90%) among those with Lyme and other tick born infections.
Most of the time the sx's we're talking about in relation to Lyme are considered neuropathy, however I question this since symptoms improve with movement, is this true in your case?
If so, I'd ask your DR/LLMD about vasculitis. There are reportedly successful tx's for this, namely ABX and Heparin. Something to ask about?
More to the sx's, YES, I know exactly what you mean by the tingly and 'pressurized' feelings. I get this very quickly while seated and it 'instantly' improves upon standing/moving. Again, is this similar to your sx?
Please Take Care, MBB3

Hey Peck - I have the same thing...very poor circulation.
It seems if I'm not standing straight up, something is falling asleep.
Never had this before lyme! I also get the same pressurized feeling - sometimes in my arms, sometimes in my legs.
Hang in there!

Me too, legs and arms would fall asleep all the time. I get that pressurised feeling in my arms in the morning. Its all getting better with treatment. It will for you too.
If I sat on the toilet for too long I would be like bambi on ice when I stood up!
