Does anyone have trouble with their fine motor skills?  I was eating lunch and I over shot my mouth with my fork twice.  I was feeding my cheek.  I hope that it is Lyme and not something else.  Anyone?

YES! I've had this problem off and on for a long time. The ONLY thing that helps me with it is practicing fine motor control. I play solitaire, try to control the computer mouse more carefully when playing games on the computer, that sort of thing. I'm sure if I spent a ton of $$ on special therapy for this, they'd have me doing fine motor control activities like moving salt from one container to another with a spoon, etc. ~ all stuff I can do on my own at home.

I also have this problem to add to the long list of others. It's very frustrating and embarrassing at times. Hopefully, with treatment this will improve for us.

Add me to that list. My worst is dropping things - it's like my brain tells me I have it but I don't. Can't tell you how many things I've broken. And sometimes the tremors are so bad and hands hurt so much I can't unball my fists. Really fun when I'm at work...NOT.

Count me in too; yeah you could always hear where I was some time back, I broke stuff, walked against doorframes, let things fall down when I thought I put them on sth and so on. It got better over time.

Some training, similar to what Razzle explained, was helpful.

Lyme disease just continues to suck!
