I have no ides what is going on, but I kinda feel like my mind is on auto pilot.
I know to pick up my hairbrush with my right hand, but then it sorta feels odd....like when you are trying to write with your left hand and you are right handed.
It's like I am not making a sensory connection. I first noticed it yesterday. Even typing feels akward.
Any thoughts?

- Very normal for lyme. Are you being treated? Hope so.
Just know that there is a new measure for "normal" for a while. -

. . . Attempts to indulge avocational or vocational pursuits is frequently interdicted by either the languor of Lyme or by encephalopathy. . . .
. . . impairment of concentration, inattention, easy confusion or disorientation when attempting intellectual tasks. . . .
. . . Lyme patients can be easily irritated by anyone just walking into the same room even though eye contact is never made or words exchanged. . . .
. . . Incidentally, hyperaccusis (sound sensitivity) can be a feature of VII neuritis. . . .
. . . Eye related problems in LD are commonplace . . . .
. . . disorganization, an inability to follow a train of thought . . . .
. . . Others forgot how to spell even simple words, how to read or must re-read with varying degrees of comprehension. One patient drove to Philadelphia instead of the desired Princeton destination because the initial letters were identical and confused him.
After shopping for groceries, another patient placed her shoes in the refrigerator and stored the food in the clothes closet.
Lyme patients can lose their way home or on the way to work, bypassing otherwise familiar exits or plain forgetting where they are in time and space or how they got there. This is known as topographical disorientation or environmental agnosia. . . .

I had a positive blood diagnosis on Aprl 5th.
I was on 100 mg Doxy 2 times a day for 14 days. I then had one month of 1 gram IV Rocephin (PICC).
I was then put on 500 mg Zithromax 1 time daily, but messed up the dosing and was taking 2 500 mg 2 times daily. Unfortunately I did realize it for 7 days.
So I only had 9 days of Zithromax. I've been off of it for 2.5 weeks and was just given a 28 day prescript for 250 mg Zith.
I am just starting to take them, but had secured script because or feeling air hunder and heart palps.
That is where I am now.

Hi, Pinky. Sorry to hear of your challenges with Lyme disease and meds.
Maybe you're having symptoms of Lyme neuroborreliosis and the co-infection Babesiosis?
You may wish search here for "focal seizures" and ask your new LLMD about getting a SPECT brain scan, MRI, and/or EEG from a neurologist to rule out focal seizures and any frontal lobe abnormalities. But don't get too panicky, ILADS-trained LLMDs have successfully treated others with Lyme neuroborreliosis. Remain hopeful!
Do you have a new LLMD yet, or are you still seeking one near D.C.?

- Regarding some of the symptoms you describe, the inner ear could be affected, as is often the case with lyme. Be sure liver support is adequate. That's in the tinntius thread below. --------------------

I woke up Sunday morning the 4th and I was 99% better. I am still in need of an LLMD, but have given up on being able to see one while in DC, since our trip is so close.
I saw my PCP today and he was very receptive to taking ILADS educational information, the guidlines and the Under Our Skin DVD. He is going to confer with the IDD I saw in GA.
We shall see......
Keebler, I do have a ton of problems with tinnitus, always have though since I was younger. Never knew you could do much to give your body support for it.....You are a wealth of knowledge. THANK YOU:)
