So I tested positive for Lyme by western blot. I want to tell you all my symptoms and would like your expertise.
Currently I have(and this comes in waves)
Tingling in my shoulders and neck/soreness
Waves of anxiety
Headache
When this happens it makes me feel very jittery,weak, and foggy

My question is these are indeed LYME symptoms right? I want to be sure I'm not missing something.

I forgot muscle twitching...

What prompted you to get tested in the first place?

Was it your symptoms?
Or did you have a known tick bite?


Those symptoms and a positive test result should lead you to find a LLMD or LLND

Girlie- I got bit by a tick while hiking in end of May.(not a deer tick) Symptoms started end of June. Stiff neck, headache,lightheadedness,sore upper back muscles. July 7th positive for Lyme. 21 days of doxy felt 100% after 2 weeks. Symptoms returned beginning of Sept. My thyroid level was also off..pointing towards maybe hyperthyroid. I just want to make sure I'm treating the right thing. Based on the symptom chart posted I come up with adrenal and boreialla.

I am seeing a LLND. Just waiting on my gut to heal so I can proceed with abx and supplements.

Okay, so tick bite plus symptoms, response with abx...and now a relapse.

Backed up by a positive lyme test.

I did see your hyperthyroid result.

Because you only treated for three weeks - I would definitely go back on treatment. You were under-treated.
When you have symptoms it's a minimum 6 weeks of treatment..


I'm wondering if the hyperthyroid result is from lyme...ask for a re-test after your symptoms have subsided.

Girlie- I would assume because I was perfectly well after tx...that it is likely I am not infected with a co-infection?
Also, my pcp did only doxy. Didn't recommend probiotics, supplements, nothing.
My LLND is starting me on either ceftin or doxy along with tinidazole? Something like that. And a few different supplements. Like I spoke with you on another post, just waiting for GI symptoms to subside as she doesn't want me developing c diff or something.

When people get treatment right away after a tick bite with Lyme antibiotics - the co's aren't usually addressed separately and most people do well.
Maybe because it's caught early the doxy does knock out Bart and/or Babs...

I hope that your second time treating is uncomplicated as well.
