This symptom comes and goes, but I been feeling pretty strong lately.. I'm not 100 percent but better than last week.. I only been on treatment twice..

First the the 200 mg of doxy for 20 days 1 time a day. and then couple of months later. The 14 days of iv rocephin..
Was herxing for awhile, but I been of those treatments

for 3 weeks now... My problem is vertigo I guess, when I stress my vertigo kicks in.. I kind of hate that, not to mention sometimes my shins

tingle. Those are my only symptoms I have had for a few days now and that's it. I know I'm not cure, but I fill fine. When I'm outside, I do not
feel it..

I feel it more when I'm in a small office with people, weird, not sure if its stress,,,Possible
co-infections..When I'm off work I just feel so tired, like right now..

I sleep like a baby at night... no insomnia what so ever.

PLease advise...

Thanks group

I am not sure about what co-infection causes vertigo but someone else here might know. I have vertigo too and it seems to be worse for me when I first wake up in the morning.

When I get the tingling feeling in my case I think it might be Bartonella and I usually get it when I am having anxiety.

Was your question about the vertigo or something else??

All I can say is that I'm so sorry you're dealing with vertigo! UGH!

Tony,

Did you ever find a doctor? Were you able to look over some of the Bionic 880 treatment information with the doctor in Pforzheim, Germany ?

Vertigo is certainly a classic symptom of lyme and other tick-borne disease (TBD).

It can also be from many other things.


Ginger Tea - or ginger capsules - or ginger root in your food - might help.

Tony, it could be emf. You mentioned it is only when you are inside the symtoms occur. Another thought is the ceiling height.

Just as an experiment, find an office with minimal electronic equipment and work their for a day. See if the symtoms still persist or improve.

I would say that that could be just Lyme, so i would not assume you have a coinfection just from that info.

If your shins tingle, it sounds like Lyme, but if they are in pain, that sounds like Bartonella to me.

Don't rule them out though if you don't get better eventually.

Please take good care of yourself!

Keebler I remember writing that, but it seems like most of those symptoms are gone for right now...

Its just hard to explain what I'm feeling.. Its mainly indoors or when I am in a small office w/ people.. Just feels weird...

I have a motorcycle and I rode it to work and I felt fine....
