Its the weirdest thing. When I first got lyme, I was getting a lot of muscle twitching and leg pain. But ever since I took that original dose of doxy, my main symptom has been this sort of anxiety/depression cloud and asthma. It comes on and off me, and gets much more intense when I take certain antibiotics.
Sometimes I Just want to start taking an anti depressant and move on with my life. But I'm worried that if I don't do the proper treatment, it may progress to other symptoms.
Kind of just rambling here, it's just so strange! I feel better than ever 65% of the time, and pretty crappy 35% of the time. That 35% stops me from working a high stress job, as when I'm feeling bad, even a little bit of stress seems totally overwhelming. The weirdest thing is that I very, very, very rarely get the lyme fatigue. I'm talking just when i ramp up on an antibiotic. I can run several miles or lift weights for hours. I'm so confused.
I would just think I have a mental disorder if it wasn't for someone else in my family having lyme, and also based on the fact that this "cloud" feeling never happened to me until I had to take doxy for a month long "mystery" cold that was causing really bad arthritis when I lived on the edge of a forest and saw deer outside my door every day in the northeast. Just seems too lymey...
