does anyone know for sure if neurological damage is permennt from borrelia?

While I'm sure there are some cases out there where the person may not have recovered, I can tell you that I surely have - and I was badly compromised by these infections.

Keep treating and detox for all your worth!! Give your body time to heal and then time to recover. Do things to help "exercise" your brain though. I liked Lumosity, but there are other sites out there. I used to do circle a words, as they help with pattern finding, the super easy crosswords help exercise the brain as well. Try to not do too much where you don't need your brain, any time you are up to doing something that requires you to really use your brain, make sure you do.

The brain is like a muscle - you have to exercise it!!

Hi leora 1 - Welcome to our community!

Headaches are a common symptom of a Lyme.

Are you waiting for test results?

Because you are new here, I'd like to point out the thread at the top of the page titled: "New to Lyme?...Start Here!" It's full of good information, including symptom lists, info on probiotics, detoxing suggestions and more!

This is a great place for support and advice. I hope you keep coming back to read, post... and feel free to ask any questions you have.
