I know it takes time but I wanna know if anyone's nerve pain has lessened after being treated for Lyme?

I also know lots of abx are known causes of neuropathy like cipro, flagyl, etc. So it's hard to tell if its from the Lyme or the abx.

Well, mine isn't from antibiotics because I had nerve pain prior to treatment. Still have it during treatment.

Many members who have healed - don't have the neuropathy anymore.

I've had neuropathy in my left hand for some time now and just noticed it's not bothering me anymore. I think another symptom is gone.

I sure hope it does. It has been my one consistent and annoying symptom from the beginning. I just ordered Dr. Jernigan's Neuro Antitox CNS/PNS because someone had mentioned it helped alleviate the tingling and numbness. I'll let you know how it goes as soon as I start using it.

Mine is pretty well gone now - I healed in 2012, got reinfected & then healed again in 2014.

It can take a long time for the nerves to heal well enough for all of it to go away. But a nerve can completely regrown in 7 years.

Hi!

If my numbness/tingling is neuropathy (along with the burning pain in extremities), then I could say that after 6weeks of ceftriaxone it was totally gone for a while!

I had nerve pain on my back and stomach--left sided..I could only go to sleep lying on that side on and off for years. That came back during treatment and is fine now...

However, the tingling in extremities is still slightly there...much less, so, yay!

DMAE might be helpful.I haven't started taking it yet. My left thigh is numb where I was bitten. After a few years it started burning, so I looked around and tried taking 2GMS of niacin twice a day.That got rid of the burning sensation. I jump in whole hog and didn't taper up.
The flush was pretty bad at first, but goes away after a few days

I remember back in the 70's during college giving niacin to goof on my friends.Just 400mgs Scared them pretty bad.The hippie days,those were fun days.We were always goofing on each other.

Anyway,the niacin got rid of the burning.I've read don't take the timed released kind, it could damage your liver.
DMAE is suppose to help repair the neural pathway nerves.
Some clinics are injecting stem cells to repair the damage, but if you have past the 80% mark of damage they say that therapy won't work.
As always don't rely on what I say.I'm just trying to point you in the right direction to do research on your on, and see if it might help you.

Take Care

9 months ago I could barely hold a pen. I frequently dropped my purse or work bag when lifting them. My fingers were very weak while typing. These all went away after only a few weeks on doxycycline.

However, I still have tingling & numbness in my ring & pinky fingers daily. My hands & arms are numb/"asleep" every morning when I awake. So, the major neuropathy went away but is still lingering in less annoying ways.
