In and off sensations that my tongue is eithe swollen or irritated at the base. It affects my speech a little. People say they can't hear it but I can tell that certain sounds like W or L or S are a...
Lyme is not shy in presenting a laundry list of symptoms and I have had quite a bit of them but when I post about mouth related and speech / tongue related symptoms I don't seem to get many people...
I felt the same as you when I was going through the diagnosis process. It could be so many awful things that you freak yourself out and even after you find out it's Lyme you still have thoughts in...
Hi achievinggrace, Thanks for writing back. All my other symptoms have significantly subsided though. Not completely gone but much much improved. My neck has always been quite stiff and crunchy. It's...
Completed 4 months of antibiotics and recently stopped with all medication. For the last week I've prrsentrd symptoms but mostly in the mouth and face area. My wife told me that I have been clenching...
Thank you so much Sailorkim! You are so sweet. I totally agree with you that it is much easier said than done. On good weeks I feel the same and then I'll have a few very strong and strange symptoms...
Thank you for that! I feel so much better. Do you get stiff hands or fingers, Like it feels like they are just laggy and not as flexible and responsive as usual? It's the combo of the two that really...
Thank you so much KitKate! As awful as it is, it feels better to hear you experienced similar symptoms. What is RMSF? I know this may sound weird but my speech changes frequently. An hour can change...
Hi Girlie, I don't know what a herx would look or feel like. I have better days and worst days and I can't really tell if treatment has done anything for me. I think overall my energy levels are up...
The symptoms I have been having recently are so similar to all the symptoms you hear about when reading about ALS. My left hand has been extremely off recently. Today in particular. I am having a...
New symptom - after 3 months of treatment now I am getting a buzzing in my left thigh that feels like a phone on vibrate going off under my skin. Also, been feeling that when I fall asleep and...
So I have been on antibiotics for about 3 months now. Started with a month of Omnicef an Zithromax then a month of Omnicef and Rifampin. There is no doubt that my symptoms have lightened and I...
Some days it's all the time but mostly it's when I've been typing recently. I feel like that tightness starts in my elbow. If I stretch my arm out, I def feel a serious stretch shooting all the way...
New symptom just emerged 3 months into treatment. I'm taking both omnicef and rafampin and have been diagnosed with bartonela and lyme via western blot. Symptoms seem to be improving overall but mt...
Hahaha!! That's hysterical speyfisher thanks for your input. Why do doctors not trust western blot tests 100%? I don't understand why we need to be memorizing anything to say to the doctors? I guess...
I have been on antibiotics for about 3 months now after suffering from various lyme symptoms that have come and gone and come back again. Treatment is improving a lot of the symptoms but some new...

Thanks for your reply. What detox works best for you? There are so many different methods....
The subject says it all. Shallow skin pain means that I will have random pains that are shallow pains. Feels like it's sore spots right under the surface of my skin. Location comes and goes and pain...
Thanks for sharing. So if it is in fact Bell's Palsy, should i be worried or is this just a symptom like the rest that may come and go and hopefully disappear when treatment is done?...
I think lethargic is the correct word for what I feel. Facial muscles feel a bit sore and fatigued and my tongue feels a bit lethargic. It's not consistent though and comes and goes. It doesn't hurt...
Feels like my tongue is off. It feels like my speech is a little sloppy meaning some words just don't come out as sharp. Also sometimes my tongue, jaw muscles and other facial muscles feel sore or...
Traveler! You're the best!! Thank you so much for the help!! I can't help but keep doubting that this is all Lyme and not something else horrible. My western blot came back IGM CDC positive and IGG...
