Hi
I came up in bullseye rash in July.
I've been tested and came up negative after Antibiotics in July, where I felt better and normal.
I'm not experiencing lower lip twitching and numbness in my face.
Is this a self limiting symptom which will resolve in time or am I heading for a palsy?

Anyone had similar experience? This started 2 weeks ago.

Am I fatigued? Maybe, but it's pretty normal anyway.

Cheers

Hi Andrew. Welcome to our community.

First - Please change your screen name - you shouldn't use your full name.

The bullseye rash is diagnostic of Lyme disease. No testing necessary...needs treatment.

So you are NOW experiencing lip twitching and face numbness?
It sounds like you need more treatment...best to get back on the antibiotics right away before you get more symptoms.

With a bullseye - you should have stayed on the antibiotics for minimum 6 weeks - and now that you have symptoms you need to treat until those symptoms are gone plus a few more weeks.

Please don't allow this to become a chronic infection...knock it out now!

We encourage our new members to look through the information in the thread: "New to Lyme?..Start Here!" It's got a ton of useful information.

You should consider getting a LLMD to guide your treatment.
We can help you find one: start a new thread: "Looking for LLMD in/near_____" and fill in the blank with your location.
