Well, it could be from not remembering what you have read to not understanding the words you see on the paper. Can you read and remember what you read on the computer, or is that the same too? Do you feel that you can't understand what is written or the words make sense, they just don't seem to carry a thought for you?

It could be from brain fog & needing more detoxing to happen in the brain to nerves still misfiring, depending on just what stage of healing are dealing with.

In addition to what Clara stated I believe that Lyme effects our tracking. That's when one or both eyes do not move smoothly, accurately, and quickly across a line or from one object to another. I know with children they test it by slowly moving a pencil from right to left in front of their eyes. Kids who have tracking issues don't follow the pencil seamlessly. You can see their eyes skip a beat for lack of a better term at the center and than regain their view of the pencil.
I don't know if the same test would apply as I believe the issue occurs with us due to inflammation not weak muscles.

In my case I can read small articles but if it's anything to technical or long I don't attempt it.
