Dizziness/Lightheadedness/Tipsy/Spacy as main symptom?

yes, that's me. not vertigo but more like a buzz (from beer, not electrical buzz). constant.

It used to be pretty strong, now it has gotten weaker, but still enough for me to not feel myself.

Before I knew it was lyme, I would take 3 or so courses of abx per year for Sinusitis, due to pain I felt between/behind the eyes/sinus even though I had clear CT's. I think that brought it down along with me treating myself for adrenal fatigue/depression for a couple of years. (Vitamin C, selenium, and Phosphatidyl Choline, and Serine, Omega 3)

I have no body Lyme pain, most of my stuff is Neuro + tinnitus.

Is there anyone else out there where a combination of dizziness/lightheadedness/tipsy/spacy is your main symptom? I've been dealing with this almost non stop for the past 90 days. IV Rocephin gave me some quality of life, but I've regressed since stopping. Now I'm on Mino and will be adding Ceftin on Tuesday but it's too early too tell if it has any effect. It's only been a couple days.

Anyways just looking to see if there is anyone else out there dealing with this constant feeling in their head? How did you heal? What did you take that helps the dizziness?

Yup, for around two years I suffered from dizziness and spaciness. I couldn’t think right. I couldn’t concentrate or focus. I felt inebriated. I felt as though there was a smog barrier between me and the world I saw. I had no control over myself and started to isolate myself because I lost a lot of confidence and motivation. I was the complete opposite of who I once was.

Since starting treatment I've had my ups and downs. I'm on IV rocephin and it eradicated my mental lapses for a little over two weeks but slowly it came back in and now I'm stuck feeling disconnected and spacey again. Almost like a bad drug trip. It's very isolating and frustrating and no one seems to understand because of the Lyme stigma. "It can't be that bad because I know others who had acute Lyme and they're fine."

I really don't know when I will feel myself. I'm hopeful I'll regain my cognitive abilities but nothing seems like its working.

I had an episode of this last week, but didn't relate it to bor/babs. Another notch on the list.

I'm sure the fungul issue was already there. White thrush is often a very telling sign of Candida.

Be sure to read Pirouette's section on yeast.

The feeling you described is one of my worst symptoms and it really has me grasping for straws. I have heard that molybdenum is helpful but have yet to try it. When i try to explain the feeling to people I feel like spaced out or whatever doesn't even do it justice. It is such a messed up feeling that leads me to self-isolate as well. I was also suggested to use frankincense oil on the temples and on the back of the neck one to two times a day. Not sure if it is helping, but maybe an avenue you can explore maybe.

Well about 4 days into doxy+rifampin my beer buzz dizziness came back slightly. I hope it passes! :(
