This might be the last time that I will be on this site for awhile because I do not know if all the information that I read is making me worried, but
something is effecting my mental stage. Now I do not know if I still have lyme or not.. Now I am in doubt.. Today I went to visit my doctor to get my third blood test in 5 months.
Before I talk about it, I want to share my first blood test back in April. Negative IGG all bands, Positive 23 and 31 (WB)(Doxy for 20 days)
Second blood test May Elisa IGG IND IGM Positve OspC25. Rocephion Infusion for 14 days
Third blood test today 18 August only positive 31 IGM everything else negative. No co-infection, no mycoplasma. I had Mono EBV at one point of my life but its not active any longer.
White and Red Cells are normal. He gave me doxy again because I demand it and I told him this time I will take 2 2oo mg per day he told me that is to mich, I have no startd the doxy yet,
plus Valium cause I'm really bad to the nerves and the brain.
I will go to a neurologist in 1 hour and he will screen me..This is all to much right now. I feel like I have no more symtomps, but I onlt I'm mentally disturbed and my muscles get tight.
I guess it is anxiety as well. Now I just have doubts if I still have lyme!!!

Tony, in reading this post and your bar post, it sound eerily familiar to what Ive been going through. It sounds like you've got some major neuro lyme, with the main symptom being anxiety. Mine is anxiety and headaches.
Anyway, what you need to do is develop treatments for each of the symptoms as they come along. Regardless of whats causing it, you need relief from them.
For anxiety, you need to have a proper diet, some light exercise, and get plenty of rest/sleep. You may have to alter your clubbing for a while till you feel better.
With the neuro stuff, you're senses are already peaked, and when going to a club, you're likley to have sensory overload. All the sights, sounds, smells, its just too much at times for the brain to digest and sort through.
Some treatment options for anxiety (google the following for specific way to do them). -deep breathing techniques -yoga -meditation -exercise -submit to the anxiety...observe it, but dont fight it. -change the environment -get out of your head, and into your life...
Remember that anxiety itself is a cycle that feeds on itself. Either you submit and allow the adrenaline to dissipate in your blood...or...you exercise to try and difuse it. But fighting it only makes it stronger and last longer...
Good luck!!
