New symptoms? Old symptoms? Bart?

I learned on here that many symptoms just move around. Pretty sure I'm not articulating that properly. My main symptom is/was mild arthritis feelings in elbow (completely gone) wrist/hands (still mild in left hand sometimes), ankle (pretty much gone but still there once in a while) and all mostly on left side. I was bit on left side of body. I have had some odd sensations in legs. Like they are a little heavy and some long bone pain on shins. Went away but back today. Some odd feeling on bottom of feet but not painful just weird.

I haven't slept well all week. I am stressed over son having lyme and having to move (without energy to do packing) and I haven't taken a walk since last Sunday. I felt GREAT last week (after feeling terrible for a week after a trip I had to take. Felt completely great last Sunday and then not great Monday. Temperature also went from warmish to cold last week.

Can stress bring on these increased sensations? Do you think NOT exercising is making them worse (I only walk one mile or 1.5), or is this Bart? Oh and my face feels sort of hot. I should note that they turned on the heat in my apartment and it may just be hot.

Sorry I'm so long winded. Thanks.

Peteza,

Hi. Really? Works this fast? Well makes sense. We are similar in our love of positive thinking (although I'm failing miserably today) and exercise. Would you walk feeling like this? It is a sunny and 65 degree day in NYC. I haven't left the apartment since last Thursday :(

Saw another post where you mention your dad. I'm so sorry. My Dad had first massive heart attack at 48 and then numerous heart attacks/surgeries after that, passed of HA at 67. Right before he passed he said "I'm sorry I gave you my heart." But I love that he said that because he had such a big heart. I know he didn't mean it that way but that is how I interpret it. I didn't know lyme effects heart that much. I had the Boston Heart Test done one month before I was bitten and everything was perfect. What tests do you ask for to check your heart?

Thanks and hope today is a good day for you.

I agree about it being stress. Stress can be devastating to a healthy body, so to an already compromised body, it "hits" even harder.

Do all that you can to alleviate the stress, a walk might be helpful, but be sure to remember your body is struggling right now, so don't over do it. Short walks would likely be best, if you do them.

Huddie that long bone shin pain is one of the major reasons I deduced I had bart and finally started treatment to find I was right. And managing stress is a big big big thing for me as inflamation, head pressure and heart skips so on and so forth could quadruple when i was at my worse and untreated. Try not to get bogged down n buckle up.
