left side of lower lip has started to twitch or quiver

I really hate this disease. I though with treatment I'd be better.

Biaxin/doxy combo is either failing or keeping this nasty thing at bay.

I hate new symptoms when I thought I caught it early -- four months in -- and I've been on this treatment for 5 or 6 months now.

Does anyone else have this symptom? I'm kinda frightened. It's slight, but it's there.

this is a scary disease. i have been aftaid many times. it is hard to believe that one disaese can really cause such a wide range of symptoms. yes i have had lip quivers and eye twitches.  the weirdest was the sensation of a snake slithering up my neck. 

I have not had the snake feeling either. I have had my toung go numb however. Has anyone had that?

yes it is called belspalsy.
It spreads and move to the rest of your face and then will make half of your face drop. I had a lot of problems with it as well....before.
but during my heavy abx drugging.

ok cajungirl - the fear of driving really struck home.  i get tremendous moments of buzzing anxiety and will have to talk to myself when driving on the highway.  i have been taking the train lately to avoid this uncomfortable feeling.  and depresssion?  i had a nurse call me from my insurance company to discuss the "connections" prgram.  she asked about depression and offered to send me a list of anti-depressant medications and this brochure on coping with depression.  i lyme raged at this nurse saying that yes i was depressed and i was open to medication but i did not want to "cope" with the depression as that implies that the depression  stands separate from my lyme disease or worse. may be the casue of it.  i am little oversensitive to any implications that my symptoms are caused by my mental state.  but of course, i do have dark days - sad and angry that my health is where it is. and i also thought i had gotten myself to the point where i was coping with my lyme disease i.e., i was off antibioitcs for 1 year+, heavy into physical therapy and managing my remaining symptoms  - accepting that 85% of who i was was the best i would get.  unfortunately, i got a cortisone injection in my neck - thinking it would be great to get some relief.  i fell apart after this injection...my lyme symptoms came raging back and i felt like i was back on square one.  so yes, this is depressing.  and my herxing is so bad the doctor has cut me back to half the needed dose of doxy, which worries me becasue i want to get better FAST.  i do not need to cope with my depression i need to get rid of my lyme disease and the depression will go away.

I totally understand. Every time I feel I have gotten this disease under control, it rears it's ugly head again. I have had all the twitches mentioned except the snake- thank goodness. Bart can also cause twitching so you might want to check that out. Mine improved a lot when I got bart treatment. Now I have muscle pain and dizziness which is probably because the borrelia was ignored for a month and then the drugs used against it were not the nuclear strength ones it usually takes to knock it back down. I am feeling very angry as well as depressed with this - just fed up.

Decordes,

I feel your pain and know exactly what you are going through. I have rage problems too. I hate to even say that because it is not really me and I hate myself like this. I go off for the littlest thing and find myself apologizing a lot. My poor husband gets the blunt of everything. The depression is really bad for me and I'm debating weather I should try anti depressants or not. My doctor prescribed me Pristiq but I still haven't taken it yet.

about the anxiety....I had to drive 2 hours like that to see my LLMD. It was aweful. I was seeing floaters and getting really anxious. I felt like it was shooting through my body. I truly hate that feeling because I used to have really bad panic attacks and they happened during my sleep. I hate being out of control and that's exactly what this disease makes me feel like.

Anyway, I know how you feel and if you ever want to talk or vent, email me anytime. I hope you feel better soon.
