Does any one else get the stroke like symptoms? I had difficulty reading and speaking the other night...also watching TV. It's like everything seemed jumbled in my brain. I always get the numb face and arms and sometimes feel like face drooping a little. But, the not being able to concentrate and really dizzy and stuff muscles was sort of new for me. I went to ER because my primary care told me to. They did CT and MRI and let me leave.....said no stroke or TIA showing. I'm assuming this is Lyme. I still have the symptoms again today. They sort of backed off last night at ER. I have been withdrawing from gluten and I have also been taking Vitamin D again every day. Praying it's a good herx because two days before that I had fever and sore throat. I should mention I have Lyme and mold and mast cell and mcs and a host of other diagnosis. And I was exposed to propane fumes two days ago right before this started.

Thanks,
Leah

"They sort of backed off last night at ER."

- I suspected possible mold from the get go. When I read the above statement, I really suspected. When I kept reading, I saw you mentioned mold, MCS, and exposure to propane. Unless you are still being exposed to propane fumes, I would suspect mold.

The truth is all of these things - Lyme, coinfections, mold, MCS, heavy metals, etc. - can cause many of the same symptoms and can be affecting us simultaneously. I do know that mold can really cause some of those symptoms like numbness and cognitive and brain problems. Chemical exposures can, too. I have all of those.

I often get numb nose or face in a moldy place. In some places, my legs go numb from the knees down even when standing. When that happens, I suspect it is pretty bad mold and get out.

I definitely don't think this is from a herx.

Oh my GOSH...that happened to my dad last year. He'd left the propane knob turned to 'on', on his cooktop. We thought he was having a stroke, went to E.R, but discovered it was propane exposure. It can also cause intense runny nose, nausea, & even diarhea!

Wait a minute. Are not these the classic symptoms of lyme disease who everyone have and struggle everyday?
This is how my days pass. I forgot things in fridge, turned on cook knobs, cant visualise words, metaphors, instructions, cant watch tv or read a books. I cant even feel emotions here and 8 months. These are everyday constant struggles not just once in a week.
