Can Lyme Cause Aggressive Ataxia?

I'm still awaiting my test results, but I have been getting ataxia symptoms that are quite progressive. It's very startling. about 6 weeks ago I noticed a bad gait. It has gotten progressively worse over the past 6 weeks. This past week, I noticed a tinging in my left arm, and that is progressing as well. I was bitten 14 months ago. Had the bully eye rash. Was put on 10 days abx and didn't look back.... til recently.

I started out last year with sore knees going upstairs, then my migraines really ramped up, back started hurting, eyes went bad, and now this. Do you think it's Lyme. I am scared that it might be a tumor or another progressive disease which cannot be treated.

Can Lyme act so fast?

Thank you Girlie!

I'm really scared. I woke up this morning and my left arm has gotten really bad. Not sure how much longer I can work with this progressing at this rate. I have been calling my neuro to talk to the doctor. The PA told me that the dr would call me back, but he didn't. Said they can't do much until my tests come back and my insurance approves the brain MRI.

I have weak and tingly limbs, sometimes they are very heavy and awkward. Holding them in certain positions is very painful. Hard to lift above my head, sometimes they just feel really off. This has improved with treatment, but heavy limbs and a painful arm are my main symptoms. Tingling is pretty rare now tho.
