Neurology issues

Hi Tracy,
Welcome to our community! I'm so glad you found us.

​
If you haven't ​yet​, it would be helpful for you to start with reading through the thread at the top of the forum titled,"New to Lyme?...Start here!!", as it is packed full of important information, symptom lists, helpful links and pdf's, how to detox when one has these infections, information on probiotics and much more.

​ And, here's another good place to find helpful detoxing routines: ​http://www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html​​

Not everyone has it one sided, but those with Neuro Lyme and/or Bart can certainly have those issues. It's a part of having a Neuro infection. Please do be very careful, as things like tripping and falling down may happen more easily!

I have found that my neuropathy is normally on my right side and now after 18 months of treatment it is staying in my right foot. Sometimes it will flare up in my left foot, but that is rare.

I also have muscle pain in my upper left arm. That too will sometimes go over to my shoulder, neck and then my right arm but mostly stays in my left arm.

Hope that helps.

I don't know if I have asked everyone on here this before...I might have. Do you find that the side of your body that you have the most issues on are also your dominant (hand) side?

If not, has it been a side that you have had previous injuries or other issues with before becoming infected?

Tracy - have you used your full name as your 'screen name'?

Reason I ask - it's not a good idea...and you should change it if you have. The public has access to these posts and using your full name isn't advisable...as it can attract spam.

I have mostly had my neurological and migrating pain symptoms on my dominant (right) side, though they do occur on the left, just not with the same intensity and/or persistence. I have never had an injury to any part of my body.

I have severe low back pain that is centralized, and expands into my hips on both sides, but occasionally I'll feel a sharpness in the right side.

I have a very stiff neck, only on the left side, which spreads to the right on really bad days.

I haven't really found anything that noticeably makes a difference, but I have found that eating (drinking) about 3-4 cups of blueberries one day actually helped lower the volume of my tinnitus. I didn't really notice it at the time, but the next day it seemed lower. Came back with a vengeance though...
