ANXIETYYYY

When will this symptoms subside? If anything it has gotten worse with treatment. I get anxiety over the most ridiculous things!!

I can't even order food without getting anxious. I can't take my toddler anywhere without getting anxiety because I'm afraid she's gonna throw a tantrum in front of everyone. I can't enjoy anything. I can't even have a conversation with family who I've been around all my life but now get anxiety and afraid I may mess up my words. I feel like nobody understands this side to Lyme disease. They only understand the fatigue and joint pain.

My depression comes and goes with treatment but anxiety sticks with me. I'm somebody that never ever had anxiety growing up.

When will this go away?

well I even get anxiety when calling to make doctors appointments or something along that line. The social anxiety is the worse.

Get checked for Mold too its been well documented to give you anxiety and occurs alot with Lyme disease.

Hi BBN, it is most likely your endocrine system acting up. Have you had your thyroid checked recently? There are some folks (me included) with Lyme that also suffer from Hashimotos and other forms of endocrine issues that cause anxiety very often, specially if your adrenals are not working well.

I was about to say that. My mother and I both had mold exposure. Mom doesn't show any apparent symptoms of Lyme, though. I'm the one with the whole enchilada.

What you said here sounds just like my mom:

". . . . I get anxiety over the most ridiculous things!! . . . . I can't enjoy anything."

She's been like this for years. Years ago, I went with her to a neuro. She was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment. A couple years later was dx hypothyroid. Been on Synthroid for years but can't tell it helps anything. Has a mouthful of old amalgams, some broken fillings and teeth, and a root canal, too.

I lived with severe anxiety for 5 years in the 90s. In fact I now think had Bart or Lyme during this stage in my life and did not know it.

My advice is,, don't live with it. You are not crazy, you don;t have a mental illness, you have a infection in your brain. When it came back with other symptom I realized this was not stress stuff all the doc were telling me.

Step 1:Recognize it for what it is, an infection.

Step 2. Start a treatment plan. (Bug kill)

Step 3: Manage the Symptoms

Note, these are also Mass Cell treatments


Med 1: Meclizine 25 mg or it's OTC equivalent 1 prior to bed but good emergency med.
Med 2 :Hydrozyzine 25 mg 3 time per day to start (Severe go to 50)
Med 3 Montelukast 10 mg night before bed.

You may be a little drosey but you'll find you head is actually clearer.

Also, watch your Blood Pressure. Anxiety can have it shoot through the roof.

Med 2 is the key, the others just knock me out at night.

Good Luck
