HI
Last week I had my 1st appointment with a LLMD After a 2 hour with her she diagnosed me with Lyme after 15 years and number of other doctors. Sent me to a lab for a large panel of test to confirm her diagnosis.

The last week or so have had numbness off and on in my fingers. The pain comes with stiffness in shoulders and muscle pains in arms.
New Symptoms
Today went to the auto show and walked about 3 miles. Walking around hands and fingers started to swell up and became very tingly and stiff. Arms muscles hurt. This evening the tingly numb feeling in my feet, worse when standing. Numb feelings in hands & arms. Strange numb & tingly feeling at my temples on side of my head, very strange feeling.

My concern is this might be something else. My symptoms for the past 15 years have been mostly joint pains that wonders around, brain fog, fatigue, headaches. 2012 my neck stated to crack all the time and has not stopped. Lately seem to have excessive amount of neck cracking. Concern could be a nerve issue.
Has anyone else have numbness in hands, fingers and feet that just seems show up.

Maybe the Lyme is just getting nervous because it is in the presence of an LLMD and so it is acting up even worse!

Seriously though, numbness is very, very common. I mean with Lyme I had numbness, internal vibrations, stabbing and shooting pains, joint pain...you name it and a whole host of other stuff but I had co-infections too. Not saying I'm sure the numbness you are having is positively lyme, but it is certainly a normal lyme symptom.

If you are concerned it may be something in addition to Lyme, maybe see a neurologist to rule out other things?

Thanks for the reply. I have had the whole list of symptoms would take a month to list. But the numbness is new to me. It probably is the Lyme running scarred? I Hope@

Hello Randy! Welcome to the website! Its pretty safe to say that all of your symptoms have been experienced by all members at some point in time. Expect everything and anything but it does get better!!! Just hang in there! I used to get scared to the point of panic attacks before I found out what was wrong with me. Now, I know. I also know that it will pass! Hang in there!! :-)

Hi Randy--I agree with SLML you should see a Neurologist just to check all angles with this. Your symptoms c/b so many other things and it's worth the peace of mind to have a Neuro check things out too. Also medicine taken for LD m/b wrong if this is not the real thing....
