How many people have Lyme without Joint Pain/Arthritis not sure if I have it because I'm untreated but my symptoms attacked my nervous system and they're neurological. I've got meningitis vision problems skin rashes Fatigue and extreme Brain Fog along with cracking joints I've had symptoms that went away like Panic attacks and chest pain. This is the main jist of my symptoms it I have a lot more. Has anyone had this? Ik it mimics MS, Cfs, etc.

I was diagnosed with Neurological lymes. Suffer from memory loss, no train of thought, anxiety, depression, fatigue and very bad headaches. At no point did I ever have joint pain/arthritis. I've been on oral antibiotics numerous times for different time periods. I also had IV treatment. These symptoms last for so long and then everything is back to normal. My symptom flare-ups have been unpredictable for the last 13 yrs.

What do you mean your symptoms went back to normal? How did your treatment go and how much was it?

Hi Colin..I have no joint/arthritic pain. My issues were all neurological. Brain fog, eye issues, numbness, tingling. I did also have some panic attacks.

Ive only had nerve pain. Been on abx for 3 months and already starting to feel better

Good luck!

I also have Lyme without joint pain only neurological symptoms like vision problems, brain fog, nerve pain. I didn't start treatment right away because I believed all my doctors that assured me I didn't have Lyme disease. I also had panic attack, chest pain, tingling and numbness only on the left side of my body. My symptoms are disappearing after months of treatment.

Mine started with neuro and with time came the joint pain.... That is when I knew that something was terribly wrong.

Colin,

All the symptoms that I described flare up and then they go away like I never had those symptoms. It's like night and day. My treatment over the last 13 yrs hasn't been the best, I've seen so many infectious disease doctors and neurologists and they tell me I should not feel like this after the antibiotics and IV. I'm finally going to a LLMD that a couple people on here recommended so I'm hoping I have better results then in the past.

Definitely. Our daughter had every one of your symptoms. She is now asymptomatic and has been for approximately 1 year.

Lyme is often associated with joint inflammation. The symptoms you describe sound more like 1 or more of the coinfections to me. Bartonella in particular. If fevers are involved I would investigate babesia as well. Lyme is in no way the only tick/arthropod-borne infection.

All my major symptoms have been neurological - numbness, tingling, even paralysis of leg (following treatment with steroids :-/), headaches, anxiety, panic attacks, heart palpitations, depression, lack of motivation, brain fog . . . also chest aching, headaches, fatigue . . . I've had occasional small joint pain (my middle finger once, my thumb, my big toe) but it resolves after a couple of weeks and isn't too troublesome compared with all the other, neurological, stuff I have. So yes, I definitely have predominantly all neuro symptoms.
