Hello , Today I am having an enormous problem in concentrating , I have a hard time typing this, and brainfog or what it feels like( like a feeling you are floating abit) .also i feel like a distinct heavyness in the head , sometimes it may feel like a pressure in the head too ( but not always).It is not exactly feeling drunk , but it definately feels something is not in order.
I wonder what you can do about it.Sometimes it disappears just to resurface at another time.
Does it gradually become better over time witn treatment.
oh my poor little brain!what have i done to you or better borrelia clear out please!
greetings jack

Jack I have the exact same feeling and you'll notice no one can understand what you're talking about except people that have or still have it. These are classic signs of Babesia is that what you have and are treating? If not you might want to consider that you have it.

I was on Zithromax/Mepron for a few months and it worked a bit then I regressed. What really improved it was a round of Coartem then pulsing Omnicef (2 pills 2x day) and Tindamax (1 pill 2x a day) on a M,W,F schedule. Every doctor has a different pulsing philosophy but that regimen has made a huge difference with the "head" thing.

These are some of my worst symptoms. They really are no fun to deal with it all on a continues basis. With the right treatment, this symptom should clear up.

Actually, brain fog occurs with mainly with Lyme, but can happen with other infections - including yeast/fungal issues.

The best thing you can do is to increase your detoxing. Brain fog is mainly due to ammonia and other toxins that these bacteria create when they die off. As these toxins accumulate, they can overwhelm the body and slow or stop healing if they aren't dealt with.

There are some things that may be more helpful than others - detox soaks, binders, and things that are specifically for brain fog - Jernigan's CNS/PNS antitox, Yucca root, - uh oh - there was another one I was thinking of, but can't remember it now! Sorry!!! It'll come to me or someone else will think of it though.

We have some really great suggestions for detoxing in the New to Lyme? thread.

Keep asking questions!! We can help you with detoxing questions usually too!

Yes! Your poor little brain will get better with treatment...

I've always said the detox baths (and sweating, when u can work up to that point) help me more mentally than physically....

Drinking lots of water, sometimes with lemon and/or ginger helps..

Hang on...

Traveler, the head "thing" is also a very common symptom with Babesia and this has been validated by my cycles and their improvement by using anti-malarial drugs. There is no reason you can't go after Lyme and Babesia which is what Omnicef and Tindamax will do.

I'm not doubting your experience, Rikky, only stating that for the majority of people, it's Lyme disease that produces brain fog the most frequently, but other infections - including yeast/fungal infections can also produce those effects.

Hi!

I have exactly the same issue! Sometimes it is better, but there are times when it is unbearable. I am not sure if it is borrelia, or babesia related, as I do not have any symptoms related to babesia (but a doc found it in my blood as well as bartonella, and borrelia).

This head "thing" becomes worse after I eat sugar, or gluten. Do you experience the same? Have you tried artemisinin?

JackDg - welcome to the club. It's annoying as heck, isn't it? You do get better days, if that's any consolation, but then when it returns, just remember that you have experienced it before and that it'll fade....ebb and flow....that is what I have come to learn about Lyme. Going on my 15th year of it now and I have to say the brain, head part has been the hardest part to deal with and that really started getting bad three years ago. I do find that when there is a full moon, these Lyme buggers are really active - even my vision gets out of whack ( vision shaking, flashes, floaters, things that are still appear moving - will never get used to that one) or when I am trying to sleep it feels like a wave going through my head over and over again- that's a tough one to deal with,too. Hang in there JDG, Cheers to Better Days to Come........

Needhelp, it seems you have a lot of experiences in this topic. I have exactly the same vision issues and the head issue as you have. Could you share your experiences with us, what helps to improve these symptoms, and are you convinced that it is borrelia, or rather babesia?

Brain fog is one of my most hated symptoms!!!

It has improved tremendously of the past two weeks since doing Bee Venom Therapy.

It does improve with proper treatment and plenty of detoxing!

Hope you feel better soon.
