brain issues such as vertigo or just a swaying off feeling in the brain?

And whatever infection caues this...and why...whats the reason?

Well one of the posibilities- Many times its because it makes many here hypothyroid. This is / can be a hypothyroid symptom (one of many) in people without tick infections too. After getting thyroid managed, this never occured again.

Been there fixed that. It was freaky when it hit me a few times on a freeway- obviously pulled ove to avoid crashing. It would last about 15min to 1/2 hour, but didnt really feel right till the next morning..

I had it so bad a few times that I almost fell over, instantly. Had all the ear/balance testing...."A" OK like always. If that were the reason, it would have stuck around they said.

I had three solid weeks of severe vertigo last year- super awful. there days it is more like a lighter feelign of it much of the time- like the brain is just swaying and off. not severe vertigo thank goodness but a swaying that is like diziness but not spinning.

I had long spells of lethargy, diff than vertigo.

My vertigo was mostly on or off.

Herxing from bartonella has caused me serious vertigo. For me, herxing from any of these infections or mold exposure contributes to poor proprioception, disequilibrium, Mal de Debarquement syndrome, and occasional vertigo. I had MDDS for several months straight last year. These symptoms are neurological and inflammatory.

Head “stuff” can be Babesia (as well as Bartonella

Mold can cause a lot of balance issues and/or tremors. I couldn’t walk heel to toe without falling over. I constantly bumped my head on car and cabinet doors. I ran into door frames and cubicle walls. When standing still, I felt my body sway back and forth.

For a long time after trying to get away from mold and detox, I walked like a drunk.

I had trouble remembering and trouble focusing. I would sit at my desk and mentally get lost and zombie-like. I would read the same emails or papers over and over again.

I also had a strange thing when symptoms first started that I described as my head feeling “off.” It wasn’t dizziness or even lightheadedness but something similar. I noticed it the most when walking outside or other large, open spaces.

During the first two weeks, I couldn’t drive because I felt like if whatever was wrong in my head veered just a teensy fraction, that I would completely lose control of my head and body.

That was the beginning of what I believe was Lyme and coinfections. Don’t know which one caused those symptoms.

This is all a little scarey since I am having similar issues.

brain issue can be dental or bite. to many docs miss both and it hard to find a good bite specialist.
When you bite is off the nerves can be pinched-so signaling issues-lymph can be blocked up preventing infection to be cleared and blood flow can be pinched

My friend who has had a lot of neuro issues is very sensitive to mold so that might be a possibility. I have thankfully had little effect in regards to my brain though I question if I've become duller as the Lyme years have gone by. But I presume anywhere the bacteria can hide can be affected so it can be anything really.

I used to sway when I was standing in one spot - ie in a bank line up...etc.

I think mine was babesia...as I'm pretty sure that when I did babs treatment it resolved. (well - almost - 90%)

I can also do the heel to toe walk - a little off balance but not like it was.

lyme can cause vertigo. I had vertigo so bad I wouldn’t trust myself ever on even a step stool let alone sitting on a backless chair (ie piano bench) I would fall!! standing I had to be holding something or leaning on something. it got so bad that I had to quit work when I was 20, I was working in a big retail farm store and between the noise, lights, schedule and my vertigo, I just couldn’t. I had no idea what was wrong but we found out I had lyme and it legit was one of those “wow my whole life makes sense” moments
