Does Lyme brain improve with treatment???

My thoughts are very scattered and my memory is poor. Does this improve with treatment, or is the damage already done?

Brain fog was one of my last sx to improve after my second round of Rif/Mino/Plaq for Bart. Before that I had thought it was a stubborn case of Babs holding me back.

As Rosner stated in his latest book... "what didn't work in the past, may work in the future when another infection is more prominent".

I actually lost my brain fog before I ever knew I had Lyme by doing the ultrasimplediet.com and it has stayed away, did it 4 months before treatment but the memory problems, word finding cleared up for the most part, occasionally it might take awhile to get something out but no big deal.

Good luck with your treatment.

Yes, this is a common sx of yeast/fungal overgrowth. A diet change can affect that pretty quickly as long as you can control the yeast/fungal overgrowth that way. But for really bad cases (like mine) it has taken some strong antifungals to conquer it. And I still have problems anytime I eat any sugar at all. I'm on a pretty strict no simple carbs/sugar diet but there was this beautiful mini coconut cupcake at my close friend's wedding last weekend and once our eyes met……… and now I'm having huge trouble again, of course. But it will eventually subside.

So, once that is under control again, the brain fog/disconnectedness, word loss continues but in a little different way—due to lyme & co. But I cannot tell which infection it's from. In another thread, a poster suggested that those are sx are Babs related and that a confusion-type of brain fog is related to Bart… interesting.

I am too overwhelmed right now to tell the difference—hopefully by the time my brain can figure some of this out, I won't have a high intensity of this sx anymore and it won't matter!

Hi I am new to this site.  I was wondering if Lyme Brain ever goes away.  I was diagnosed in 2009 by LLMD, 2 1/2 yrs abx followed by 6 mos IV.  Felt unwell for 10 yrs prior to diagnosis. Was feeling so much better then 1 yr later total body inflammation returned and vanished with Lomatium isolate.  The brain fog never seemed to go away completely, just felt better for awhile.  Last month had a UTI and was given sipro which made me feel like I was hit by a bus after 1 day, then given different abx (can't remember name) and on last day I got horribly dizzy and it has not subsided since.  Brain fog is heightened and I feel like my head in under water.  Still have some minor transient joint stiffness also.  Am going to a new integrative physician today because she participates in insurance, as my trusted LLMD does not & after a 5yr loan from my 401k account for the IV abx, I can no longer afford my LLMD.  I am scared this head trouble will never pass and that this Dr will not understand the complexities of lyme and it's coinfections.  Has anyone had the brain symptoms disappear for good?  Also had mycoplasma, EBV, biofilm rash/reaction, candida.  I don't know what is going on and feeling somewhat hopeless....any info appreciated.
