I've posted my mom's story in another thread but basically we think she has progressing neuro Lyme. She started having visual, disturbing hallucinations and severe paranoia. She spent over a week in the hospital. They put her on Seroquel which I think at first may have worked but they increased the dose and her hallucinations were even worse.

We stopped doing the Lyme herbs in December because at first we thought the hallucinations were a herx but now I believe they are potentially Lyme disease progression. Anyone have any suggestions?

The only thing that will really help her is getting the right kind of treatment for Lyme and whatever co-infections she might have and seeing it through it until all her symptoms are gone.

She may get some relief if she can possibly get her immune function up and running. She may go into a temporary remission, but from here it's not possible to tell what all that would involve.

I really feel for her, some here have had to deal with that to a degree, and may offer ideas.

She's needs to see an llmd

It's possible that she is dealing with what has become a chronic brain disease. At that point, they show a lot of dementia symptoms. If this is the case, this article will be of great value to a LLMD that would understand these things: www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lyme-bacteria-hides-inside-parasitic-worms-causing-chronic-brain-diseases-300270742.html

Yes I think bartonella can also cause psychosis or babesia can't remember which. You can also contact buhner herbalists on his website some of them have dealt with psychosis before specifically

Just sending positive thoughts your way.

Thanks for your replies. I appreciate them. It was a very difficult time. The hallucinations and paranoia have stopped. I think they may have been related to lack of sleep. She doesn't seem to be sleeping through the night. And her sleep cycles are off. Can sleep disturbances be related to Lyme or the co-infections?

YES, definitely!

I slept like a baby pre-lyme...in fact I used to joke that sleeping was one of my hobbies.


Within a few months of lyme hitting me....that all changed...it was horrible....many different issues..
The first one was as I was falling off asleep, I would be jerked awake...over and over again.

Another one was waking up every 2 hours in a panic, gasping for air...that went on for months...

I am finally sleeping quite well now...not like I used to but much better ...and I'm dreaming again almost every night!!!

It might be worthwhile to have her adrenals checked - the 4 point saliva test.

Often if we're producing too much cortisol at night...it will affect our sleep pattern.

Also check this post. Could be this going on as well.
