I have had increasing tingling and numbness in my arm and face for 4 days now. Anything I can take to help out with this?

antibiotics or herbs that are part of your treatment? seriously, this is what helped me, after 3 weeks of this combo : rifampin+zithromax+mino they are gone. probably it was bart in my case because it responded pretty quickly to abx.

i can give u some idea about what can HELP with tingling, but again, if u want a solution you need to stick to the treatment.

so what helps relieve symptoms
- epsom baths
- oral magnesium - chelated or if u dont have that , acetate or carbonate, never magnesium oxide as it does not get absorbed well.
- B vitamins - especially B12 and B6 are important for nerve repair, but please take into account too much B6 can be toxic so if u stay for more than a few months on B6 supplements, make sure to test your blood levels
- vitamin D3, it helps nerve repair

Thanks. I will try your recommendations. I have been on a pulsing regimen for almost 2 months now. Had a little bit of tingling before treatment, but then it went away. But, it just recently came back with a vengeance. It could be my diet as well. I was eating super clean up until a week ago. I've been eating some sugar and processed foods this week. Could be the culprit. I've also got an infected tooth that is getting pulled Monday. Maybe a combo of things going on here.

As far as your abx tx goes, are you treating Lyme and Bart?

BTW, how much chelated magnesium should I take?

Hoagie,

I noticed you said you were on a pulsing treatment with the antibiotics. You also did not mention any herbal treatment. You said symptoms came back that had gone away after starting antibiotics. It could be because you're pulsing.

If you're open to using herbs, I would add some herbs alongside the antibiotics, especially japanese knotweed. Steven Buhner says if he could get Lyme patients to only do one thing it would be that.

I am. I'm currently on Buhner's core protocol with Sida Acuta and Houttuynia.

I feel a lot better this morning. I think I just needed to detox. I haven't been taking it as seriously as I should have been, and it caught up to me. Last night I drank lemon water with alka seltzer gold and glutathione, and used a FAR portable sauna that my wife got for me for the first time. After 20 minutes in the sauna, the tingling went away. Crazy!! I've had it for 4 days and it goes away after the sauna. Needless to say, I'l be doing that a lot more.

I don't take chelated - but I take 800 mg every evening.

Hoagie- Those symptoms can even be thyroid and adrenals.

Dont ever take B6 in higher doses without blood testing, recommended daily is pretty low. It can pool in some people. The cheaper the b6, the more likely this can happen. Been there.

So glad you made this post. I too am experiencing these symptoms.

It actually started after treatment. Herx?

Not sure, but it may be a build up of toxins. Above I stated that it went away last night after a couple detox methods. I primarily attribute it ti the FIR sauna. Got a little bit of tingling in my face as I type this. Going to hot the sauna again in a couple hours ans sse if it helps again.

I originally thought it was a circulation issue, but I think it is more with toxins affecting my CNS.

Who knows. Good luck.

I've bounced around both the CNS and circulation hypothesis in my head on this as well.

You make a very good point about detoxing. The days I did I did not experience it. I didn't detox last night and did experience it.

I'm going to detox tonight and see what happens.
