chest burning

I want to know if anyone with lyme disease has burning on their chest wall, like chest pain, and burning on their skin anywhere else. I can tolerate it if I am distracted, but if I just sit quietly, it hurts all the time. It feels like there is adrenalin surging thru my body. I am also in withdrawal from benzos and I thought that may be causing it. I have been off klonopin for 13 months.

I saw a neurologist and he basically told me I had depression and anxiety, and needed to see a psychiatrist.I thought could you not do some neurological testing, like for neuropathy or something.

mystery1 - I'm already not liking your neurologist. You might want to seek a second opinion if you feel moving to a psychologist is unwarranted.

There is almost always an underlying physical cause to anxiety and depression and that needs to be treated, healed or ruled out first. In your case, it sounds a lot more like drug withdrawal symptoms if you ask me which can be treated through intelligent detoxing and pain management.

I wanted to ask if you are on or just getting off ABX or are on any other rough drugs?, because you could be fighting a strong yeast infection. This certainly would explain your skin ailments. Also is your sleep solid and fatigue levels alright lately? Have you tried treating your ailments with herbs? (they really helped my own depression and anxiety issues). Sorry for all the questions, Im just trying to help.
