Hi. Im a female, disgnosed with lyme and have been in treament since march. Ive noticed a lot of improvement compared to how ive been, but i still have doubts as to whether i actually have lyme disease -.- its mostly neurological/psychological symptoms for me. The things i experience scream lyme disease with a coinfection of bartonella. Ive been going insane. The symptoms that i dont understand are my sexual symptoms. I havent been able to find very much on lyme disease and sex other than low libido. What i have is pain on being touched in my private area, pain in my pubic bone, weird sensations in that area, painful orgasm(like electric shocks), and unwanted sexual attractions. To noises and things that i find to be disgusting.
Now, i have another symptom, misophonia, which is selective sound sensitivity. And i know that a common thing to experience with misophonia is a sexual response to the sounds youre sensitive to, but i feel that its gotten a little bit more complicated and weird. I dont know. Someone tell me your thoughts. If this is common, if youve experienced similar things, ect

Hi Zowee,
While this is an important topic (for many I suspect), we do want to be careful just how we word things - this is a "family" site.

With that said, I too had some strange pains in the areas that you mention, although I never experienced the misophonia connected to it like you. With Neuro Lyme, the entire neurological system (Central and Peripheral) can be infected/affected, so the sound sensitivity is common - although it seems to be an extreme for you.

Are you detoxing? Detoxing will help remove more toxins from your body and should reduce the severity of your symptoms. If nothing else, a nice warm soak might help you relax a bit more so that sounds aren't so hard on you. I used to have to walk around with ear plugs in my ears in order to get through the day because I got quite sensitive.

Sorry. Its just an important topic, and i dont see a way to censor it any more while being straightforward at the same time. I really need answers and i havent been able to find any that way. I didnt even think it sounded bad?

I take ear plugs with me everywhere i go x.x ive gotten so much better though. Im not wearing them 24/7 and can go all day without them.
I am detoxing! It helps so much at times. Baths too, with epsom salt. It helps with the sound sensitivity like you said. And most of my other symptoms.

I would suspect that bacteria have sequestered unwanted metals somewhere in your cerebral cortex and that is causing the unusual sensations and problems.

If it were me, I'd take Pectasol-C powder 3 times a day to help aid in metal elimination. EDTA or charcoal may help as well, but I have taken Pectasol-C and know what it can do.

Please don't misunderstand me, Zoweee - I thought you did well in your explanation, I just needed to say that to be sure we were very careful in our wording is all!! I agree that it's an important part of healing and our lives.

As Georgia Hunter suggests, have you been evaluated for heavy metals, mold or other issues that could interfere with your healing?

Thank you for clarifying, Traveler, heh. Ill be sure to be careful. Im sorry if i sounded too defensive

Ive been evaluated for heavy metals, but not mold. I have very high levels of lead and cadmium (im a former smoker). Some mercury i think, but i cant remember. Id need to find my papers. For that i purchased an infrared blanket on ebay, and i also got activated charcoal earlier this week. Im not sure how often i should be taking it though, i read an article and it sounded like something i should only be using once in a while, but i havent read much about it in relation to lyme disease.

I completely relate to the embarrassement, terragram, haha.
Kegals, really? I have to look that up! I never knew that they could help with this sort of thing

Most of the time, physicians look for heavy metals using a provocation test. It showed you had metals but a provocation test will not find sequestered metals. That's why people often have metal toxicity even though their provocation test was negative.

As for the activated charcoal, I would suggest that you only start with one dose daily and watch for any issues to start up. I've read where some people take it twice daily, but I always opt for a slow approach to all of our healing. It seems to create less problems for most.
