Sleep disturbances - neuroborreliosis?

I’ve been on Buhner’s full protocol for lyme, bartonella, babesia, and mycoplasma for 5 weeks and haven’t seen a single improvement in sleep. But I haven’t done the extended protocols for neuroborreliosis and now I would like to take a closer look at this.

Are sleep disturbances definitely considered to be a neuroborreliosis symptom? The book is kind of unclear and doesn’t go in depth to explain the neuroborreliosis sections - so I just glanced over this.

Under neuroborreliosis section, it lists maybe 12 or so conditions. 9 of them I can rule out for sure.

But I’m unsure about sections for “severe brain/CNS involvement”, “reducing borrelial neurotoxins”, and “restoring neuronal structures”. At first glance it didn't sound like these pertain to me, but can SLEEP can be a part of these categories???

Many reasons for sleep issues, dont expect to find one golden answer.

There are many, many post on this topic in the past here.

Body stress can mess up the adrenal cycle too= no night sleep.

Sleep issues is indeed a symptom of lyme/neurolyme.


And treating your infection(s) should resolve it ...may not be 'just' lyme - could be the coinfections contributing.

For me sleep issues were definitely caused by the infections. It's improved a lot over time with effective treatments. I'd def try some of those supportive herbs and see if they help, and hopefully as you keep treating the symptoms will gradually improve over time. Of course it's hard to say for sure what causes the sleep disturbances, but these infections cause a lot of these type of issues.

I have seen trouble falling asleep and/or staying asleep listed as bartonella symptoms, which I had for decades.

I have not seen it specifically linked to neuroborrelliosis. Sleep issues can occur with any of the infections, I would think, due to the dysfunction it causes throughout the body and hormonal systems.
