Hey guys!

first of all- officially DX'd last wednesday! After years of answer seeking I felt strangely happy when I got the news. I still have this recurrent fear I'm going to get a call and find out I don't have it!

Anyway I noticed in the past 2 weeks when I start experiencing intense emotion mainly anger and sadness I lose the feeling in my face (all tingly like buzzing) then moves into chest, and arms.... and then my mouth begins to lock up... Could this be Lyme related? It's kind of weird and scary!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

SeeingGreen

When dealing with lyme, congratulations are in order when you finally get diagnosed! Must be such a relief!

What you're experiencing does sound lyme-related. It's hard to tell the difference between symptoms of infection and symptoms of your body clearing out the infection - make sure you're keeping the detox pathways clear and flowing! Magnesium sometimes helps with the jaw locking up - mine's actually doing it right now (still recovering from an accidental major herx) so I feel your pain!

broderlyme,

thanks! we actually went to dinner to celebrate...never thought I'd be so happy to hear I have a disease :P

The tingling started a week before abx so I am confused. I have been getting it in my knees every so often as well.

Emotional upsets can cause hyperventilation, which then can cause tingling and numbness in the face. Lyme messes with circulation, which can make the normal hyperventilation manifest in bizarre ways.
