I just started treated Lyme two months ago. My LLMD says I have Neurological Lyme. My worst symptom is this dizzy type off head feeling. It gets WAY worse when stimulated by going into a store or even just talking to someone. I feel somewhat better when sitting by myself in my house. I get this dizzy feeling then anxiety which makes that worse and the vicious cycle begins. I find this extremely debilitating and frustrating. Has anyone else had this and will it go away with treatment? Of course my LLMD says yes its normal and will take awhile to go away, but I really would like to hear from someone who maybe goes through the same thing. I feel like an anxious, dizzy, woozy mess on and off all the time.

well it does get better , the anxiety is bartonella constricting blood vessel walls and affecting their elasticity. some of it was spasms on my adrenals kicking a fight or flight . the dizziness was borrelia and bart affecting the nerves of the inner ear that sense the fluid that gives us our perception . the woozy mess was a bit of chronic fatigue but some lack of nutrient and protein absorption due to many gut pathogens. at my worst it felt like i was on a boat drunk for 9 months straight. few years of treatment and im back cycling +

things that help: excess ammonia and sulfer mopped up with biotoxin binders like yucca and asparagus chlorella.(celcore make a decent one) . garlic ear drops , gse ear drops and collidial silver in the ear can help speed up healing of inner ear . i would use oil of oregano diluted behind the ears . and for the anxiety when i no longer wanted to rely on nibbles of zanax; i successfully switched to holy basil ( literally a life saver )

lyme treatment is more of a marathon than a sprint , line ur ducks up ,learn ,detox and stay consistent . welcome and do keep us posted

Yes! Exactly on a boat!!!! The Holy Basil really works for the anxiety? How much etc? I was going down the Buspar path and dont really want to do that.

The swaying sensation has a medical name - mal de debarquement syndrome, or disembarkment syndrome, because people get it following boat journeys. I experienced that for a year (maybe two?) and it was pretty maddening.

What helped me was limbic system retraining (DNRS) and treating mast cell activation syndrome. Both things drastically reduced my neurological inflammation and neurological symptoms. Basically our nervous systems are in a hyper-reactive state, and that has to be addressed.

It WILL end. Trust that and be patient.

With proper treatment -those symptoms will resolve.
You’ve been treating for a short time so far.

I had the swaying back and forth when I was standing still for awhile. I recall being in a bank line and feeling self conscious about it.

Could your bite be slightly off?
If your bite is off nerves-blood flow and drainage can all be pinched off

Hi Pickleball Player, I wanted to chime in to let you know what you described is exactly how I have felt off and on since getting sick about a year ago. I could completely relate to your comment about being triggered walking into stores or even just talking to people. I can’t tell you how many times I would wish a conversation would end so that I wouldn’t have to keep my gaze fixed on someone because I felt so “off”.

While it’s gotten somewhat better with treatment, I think it will take some time to resolve completely.

Hang in there! I know how debilitating and anxiety inducing these symptoms are but you can heal.

Bestill…..Thank you for saying that. Yes that is exactly how I feel as well with wishing conversations would just end. I wonder what causes this? My LLMD says it’s sensory overload and she has sees it all the time. That for me is my worst symptom!!!
