Facial Neuropathy

I cannot say for sure, but many people have mentioned this grouping of symptoms with either Lyme or due to one of the co-infections.

That's part of the problem with these tick borne diseases, the symptoms migrate just about anywhere, any time. It's the hardest thing for everyone to keep up with.

We just keep going back to the lists of symptoms, or to one of the better books like S. Buhner's to see where he places these symptoms (which you're right, they're neurological) and what herbs he recommends to target those areas.

Will try to keep your post towards the top so that someone who has experienced this too can comment and see if they have a recommendations.

We just get to the point where we try not to get upset if we can help it, but just chalk it up to another 'Lyme' thing to deal with. Or not. Sometimes these symptoms go away as quickly as they arrive, but sometimes not.

I have something similar. For me feels like I have icy hot on my face or sometimes like dental novacaine wearing off. It went away for awhile but is back and a little worse on right side now. I have those white spots in legs & arms. I thought mine could be thyroid related since it was better on meds. Could be mold or lyme too.

Maybe try coconut oil if you think it's fungal.

Sam, when you start an herb for a symptom, you probably should stick with it as long as you aren't having too severe of a herx or reaction from it.

It's hard to say for how long, it differs for all of us. I'll give you an example. I found that Japanese Knotweed is calming inflammation in my body. I quit taking it during a period of time when I was having other issues I needed to figure out.

I missed the knotweed because my general overall pain came back. I've been back on the Knotweed about 4 days and already I am feeling a little better.

Thanks julymorning, do you think I should increase the dosage to 2X daily?

magoo2- I had a check up and xrays, everything fine plus no tooth pain.

I do hope your dentist told you that the lack of pain doesn't mean you don't have an infection.

in fact you could have a massive infection and no pain.

Also cavitations rarely show up on xray.

Anyway best of luck I hope you find the cause and cure.

Listening and caring. Bluelyme, how do you sting your tmj nerve?

I think it's worth seeing a holistic dentist. I'm heading to one next week. When I took DMSA for chelation I developed jaw shaking. I think there's something going on there.
