For the past few days I've had this buzzing feeling.  I've had it also in the past.  I was wondering if anyone might know what would possibly cause this very unusual feeling...............Willie

Hi Willie!
How are you doing?

That buzzing feeling is from the nervous system being affected by the tick-borne infections.

I would try a nice warm soak (detox of course). The epsom salt in a detox bath will help ease muscles & nerves generally.

Some of us take magnesium supplements which can help as well.

I hope this helps a little, Hopefully someone with a much better working brain will post & give you a better answer!!

Thanks Traveler! You're too much. You always manage to make me laugh:)

You're advice helps very much. Is it possible to take too much magnesium? I already take a multi vitamin that that has 100 mg's................Willie

There is a 'thing'' with magnesium. It has a good ability to pull more water in to the intestines. Great if you suffer with constipation, like me.... but I'm sure you can see the down side if you have any other condition where you already deal with diarrhea! shocked

With that being said, I take 250 mg am & pm. It really depends on what your body will tolerate. Build slowly, giving each new step a few days for your body to adjust.

Here is a detailed "description" (???confused dang Lymie brain! I have no clue what word to use!) of magnesium can be found here;

Hi Willie,

I haven't posted in a while. Your post caught my attention because this was one of my first symptoms. Everyone on this forum really helped me a lot. After 8 months on abx and alternative treatments I can say that I am 99% better. It's like day and night. just continue doing everything you can for yourself. Detox baths and sweating are a must!

Hi lylaso,

I'm a bit worried because after one month of abx my doctor stopped treatment. He has referred me to a neurologist and ran more blood work which came back negative the second time around.

It's so good to hear that you are 99 percent better. It's very encouraging.

I learned about the detox baths on this forum and the need for an LLMD, but I haven't heard about the need for sweating. Can you please elaborate..............Willie

Hi there,

My understanding is that sweating that comes with exercise releases toxins and more importantly stimulates your lymphatic system. If you dry brush before your baths this also stimulates the lymphatic system. There are a lot of videos on youtube showing the proper directions to dry brush as it is important to follow the natural paths of your lymph system.

I can only speak from my own personal experience. I'm not sure what the rest of your symptoms are, and of course you should discuss everything with your Doctor. My LLMD and the acupuncturist both recommended I start exercising. I was a good weight (actually bordering on thin) so this surprised me.
In the beginning this seemed to be an insurmountable goal as I was exhausted just being on the couch! Anyways I started with 4 minute runs and then 20 minutes of walking. Every few days I increased my runnning time by a minute. I eventually got up to 20 minutes. Even though I was exhausted in the beginning, after about a month I had a lot more energy. The first symptoms to go were the buzzy and burning sensations.

I'm not saying it was exercise alone, as i was also on zithromax and rifampin to combat the bartonella. I also consumed a lot of garlic (still do!), epsom salt baths and watched what I ate.

There are other people who have been helped by infra-red saunas. I've never tried this, so I can't give my opinion, but maybe someone else can. While it helps you to sweat, it lacks the movement that comes with exercise.

There is tons of good advice here on diet and alternative treatments. I wish I could say exactly which of the remedies I did helped, but I have a feeling it was the combination of everything that made me feel better.

I hope you start to feel better soon!
