As soon as I sat down on the couch my legs started to tingle....I'm beginning to think I have MS not lyme...does this happen to anyone?

I have tingling in my legs most days. That's a very common Lyme symptom as is burning and numbness which are all neuropathy. The tingling can be anywhere in the body.

MS is probably infectious in nature and many people who are diagnosed with it have Lyme and have been misdiagnosed due to inaccurate testing and ignorant doctors.

Tingling is one of my biggest symptoms with this stuff! Usually it is my scalp. It can be on the left or right side. This week it is the tip of my right pointer finger. When I herx or my symptoms start to flare the back of my right heel will tingle. It is the weirdest thing!! Hang in there! It does get better!

I find that doing B12 injections help with the tingling - I have it less in my leggs, but very often in my face. Be sure though to use methylcobalamine.

My b12 level was fine. The tingling is more related to a certain position-sitting. Now I'm sitting on my couch with my legs up and there's like a pulsating feeling in my left heel/ foot.

Shelly are you on heavy ABXs?

I noticed this "falling asleep" type of tingling when I increase my ABXs or after Ive been on them a long time. Im convinced its due to sluggish blood and a lack of adequate blood flow/circulation or a lack of proper detoxing. It also sounds like high blood pressure?

Some of my supplements (like Serrepetase) help with this, but do discuss this with your doctor.

I get it all the time Shelly, especially on the outside of my right ankle. While watching TV, too. If I place my right ankle on my left knee while sitting, it gets worse..Lets All get better..

Ok, it wasn't clear to me that it was related to your positioning. So it is more like sleeping limbs? I have it all the time. I haven't found a solution for that... You're stitting down in a position that shouldn't make your legs or arms sleep, but it still does. Lately it is like I feel the blood running through a vein that is being squeezed. I have it in my big toes.

I just wanted to add something about the B12. Blood levels of B12 might be in range, but at the same time you might have a deficiency in your nervous tissue.

Many drs don't know this, and send you home with your test results that seem fine, although you might have a deficiency after all.

My B12 blood levels seem ok, but the help I get from the injections is remarkable.

Thank you all for your comments.

No, not on heavy abx. Just biaxin 2xday.

The tingling is one of the very first signs I had way back when...it was a very very light sensation of both lower legs. It would happen when I was walking but mostly when I sat on my bar stool.
Now, it's seems to happen when I sit only and it's a bit more intense, but still not extreme.

I can't wait to see my new LLMD in 14 days!

The numbness might take awhile to heal also. It can be associated with many things - nerve damage included BUT it could also be from yeasts or a number of other factors. For me I would say about 3 months into treatment the numbness/ tingling in my legs went away.
