How do you get symptoms for about 3 days and then feel good for about a couple months? Sometimes symptoms for a day and gone again for a while. This past time I've had symptoms for over a week, and now 2 days feeling good. If Lyme is from a bacteria, then shouldn't we have symptoms every day? Can anyone explain to me more about this stuff, because I am really getting frustrated with whatever is going on. Still waiting on a proper diagnosis of course.

Thank You

Lyme has a very, sometimes VERY slow replication cycle. Thats also why we need longer courses of bacteria. The minimal time I believe is 8 hours for Borrelia to reproduce. Keep in mind, ecoli, strep, staph etc all have replication times of under an hour. Multiply that exponentially.

Thank You, it's just so hard to understand this stuff right now. Still waiting for a proper diagnosis, but I am going between MS, and Lyme with all the symptoms I have had, and have. But it seems like they come and go as they please. I have new symptoms now within the past year, and it's driving me nuts. Sometimes I really do feel like I must be imagining this. The scariest thing for me is the tingling/burning/numbness/crawling sensations I have.

They are the worst!  All this burning, tingling, and the prickly skin, and the whole body feeling like it is full of bees buzzing around, and yes, crawly.  Numbness too and that darn head ringing.  I would love to find the switch to just turn it all off.
