more bizarre symptoms

My left arm that gives me a lot of pain quite often is hot to touch. Does that sound like a Lyme symptom? The temperature is much hotter than the rest of my body and it is off and on throughout the day.

I'm still trying to sort it all out...what about frequent nightmares waking me up - could that be part of the infection..or is it my poor mind just reacting to all this physical stress....

Okay - one more - phlegm in the bottom of my throat...causing me to choke in my sleep. Seem to have a lump and have some difficulty swallowing. Just wondering which stuff I should be addressing with other Docs - maybe I need to see an Eye/Nose/Throat specialist for that one....

I'm concerned that if I put it all off to Lyme - I might miss treating something - like the throat thing - my regular Doc had me do a barium swallow xray, but it didn't show anything, so she didn't think I should see a specialist.

Thanks!!

Yes - I'm a crybaby now. Even when I'm having a better day...there's always a time of the day where I have my cry. Today was a weird day...home alone - hubby at work...and I'm crying and talking to myself.

Louise - If it's bartonella and I get treated for Lyme - is it possible the same treatment would work on bartonella? I can't afford to test for everything, so I'm starting with a Lyme panel. Or, is it all a crap shoot anyway with what antibiotics to start with?
I guess I just need to get a good Lyme doc and trust. But, that's not my nature - I need to know I'm doing the best thing.

So, you must have sleep issues, too with the gagging? I'm not sure if that's what keeps waking me, or if it's the vivid dreams/nightmatres...not sure...but my husband says all of a sudden this choking/gagging and weird freakish sounds I make has happened over night. We've been married for over 20 years, and he doesn't believe it's just your typical sleep apnea - he says it sounds like a horror movie and I've never had it before.He has to put ear plugs in.
What's worse, is I have to sleep on my back these days..can't roll over because of surgery I had recently (yes bad timing, but I didn't want to cancel it...and thought it would help with my back pain - you can probably figure out what type of surgery I'm talking about)

Have you been diagnosed yet?
I am waiting for test results...
