Hi all-

I'm so very grateful for all the support I've gotten so far from everyone on various topics. My recent concern is my biggest symptom which is nerve pain & paresthesias. Sometimes it feels like I have a circulation issue as my left leg can quickly fall asleep, as do my hands (it's hard for me to hold up a book). My question is will this correct itself as I'm getting treated? My LLMD already did a whole hypercoagulation panel with me and said everything came back normal.

I'm not even sure if it's nerve damage or blood issues, but this seems to be my last major symptoms (and minor joint pain). The headaches, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms have slowly gone away. If I could just get rid of this I would be doing great.

Any input would be appreciated!

It will almost certainly go away with further treatments. I had some pretty serious issues with the numbness/tingling myself. I used to quilt to keep my occupied during the day, and I would regularly sew my fingers to my work and then have to wash some blood off my quilt project!! I also used to get burns in the kitchen frequently, but that's all gone now.

Lyme bacteria damage the myelin sheath, the protective covering around the nerves. This can take a while to completely heal, but it does heal.

I was diagnosed a week ago today with Lyme and had the classic rash...now after a few good days i've got some serious nerve pain in my shoulder/neck area (hard to pinpoint)...a little better today after taking some b12 (methyl).

Hi mine was with me for several months. I'd say it was around 3-4 months during my treatment then faded away. I was happy about that. Many of the other symptoms came and went. Id be sure I was cured of a symptom and then it would show up out of the blue after months of not experiencing it. I wish you the best and for a quick recovery.
