Anyone else’s perception off? I haven’t read anything about it anywhere so I am just wondering if this could be normal. My perception is way off. Like at night when I am going down the stairs. I think I’m on the top step but I’m actually hitting the second or third step and I fall down the stairs. It is very scary bc I think I am in the right step and there I go. I have severely hurt myself because of this but I don’t know if this could be Lyme related or not?

I have heard of some people having this symptom with lyme (perception and depth-perception being affected). Given how these infections can cause a variety of neuro-cog symptoms it's certainly plausible that the infections are causing that symptom.

Are you currently on any treatments? doing any detoxing? implementing various detox methods can help symptom severity.

I haven’t been able to find a doctor yet but I started doing detox baths every night.

Super! I hope the baths are helping. May want to try integrating a few other detox methods to see if you can find things that help. I like some of the simpler stuff, lemon water (can add alka seltzer gold), binders (like activated charcoal). Can take a bit of trial and error to find the things that help. This site lists some different ideas: https://www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

Big time. I used to constantly hit my head on cabinet doors and the car door and run into the doorframe in the bathroom and the cubicle doorframe at work. When I stood still, I could feel my body sway back and forth. It was from toxins - mostly mold toxins. Got much better after leaving my moldy environments and detoxing.

I still have issues in the car. If parked or stopped at a light and a car next to me is moving, I feel like I’m rolling backwards.

yes, me too. not so much lately.

- I would hit my head on the frame of the car.

Also have missed a step going down the stairs....

I had this symptom, too, and my doc said it was babs-related. I got my eyes checked and actually got prism lenses for my glasses that are helping a lot. I wont need them forever, but it's a good investment (that insurance covered)
