I've had daily facial paresthesias for about four months now. It's mostly at night actually - with no distinct pattern. Usually around my forehead but creeps up to the top of my skull, sometimes...
Thanks- that's actually a little reassuring. I wish I could get an MRI once a week just for reassurance! My last MRI was in end of May, so my mind wants to play tricks on me and say "it's time for...
Hello: I am struggling tremendously with anxiety the last couple of months. I'm 28, but have had anxiety since I was a child. Only recently have I been formally diagnosed with GAD and OCD- the latter...
I developed intermittent headaches about two years ago. The headaches actually have diminished but I have been left with bad anxiety, since my grandfather died from an aneurysm at age 60 (I'm 28). I...
Thanks, Mareish. I was on doxy for 2 weeks, then 2 weeks off until I convinced my doctor for a longer dosage. He gave me a script for 28 days worth. After those 28 days, the symptoms came back while...
Thanks- yes bands 41 and 23. I guess I could take a day and look after myself and drive to an LLMD. It's not close, but do-able....
Hi all: I've been on doxy (100mg/2x day) for about a month and a half now. My symptoms are facial and head tingling, joint pain at my elbows, little pit of testicular pain (fun), neck pain, cognition...
Most of my lyme symptoms are neurological - cognitive mistakes, skin burning across my chest, facial tingling. I did have a clear MRI recently about the same time I was tested positive for lyme. My...
What's detoxing?...
As an update, after having originally been put on doxy for just two weeks, my doctor decided to re-prescribe me an additional months worth of doxycycline. As I am back on the abx, I am noticing that...
I have been just coming to terms with lyme disease. A couple clarification questions: a) Many of you have remarked that the IgM vs IgG debate is somewhat moot. If i came up IgM positive for bands 23...
I actually should mention that the headaches started a year ago---the tingling was in April, which led to the blood test. So maybe those headaches can be linked to the lyme. Anyway, thanks for your...
That's interesting btw-- I didn't quite know that distinction that IGM is just active and not necessarily means the tick bit recently...
Yep! Symptoms started in April and a blood test (I was going to a neuro for headaches and the tingling) showed a positive lyme test. I started doxy around early June...
I had a positive IgM (bands 23 and 41), negative IgG , so assuming recent. But i've had neck, headaches, and facial tingling since April...
Hello: Everyone on this forum has been super helpful with advice. I haven't quite been able to see a LLMD, because they aren't super close to where I live in Philly--in fact, they're not in Philly at...
Hello: I am a 28 year old male, who has had intermittent headaches for the past year and a half as well as facial and head tingling for the last 3 months- sometimes shooting down my arm. It's not...
I guess I've had this facial tingling for the last 2 months. That's really my only main symptom, besides back and forth headaches. My doctors and neuro were initially searching for a brain/spine...
Thanks- just enabled it. I'm in Philadelphia...
I see-- okay. I'm not seeing an ILADS trained LLMD. I just wrote ILADS to get a list of doctors near me. I was only given a prescription for 14 days. I guess I've been having a hard time wrapping my...
Hello everyone: I recently was given doxy for 2 weeks at 100mg twice a day for a positive IgM test. My IgG was negative, but doctor felt it was best to just start the medication anyway. The only main...
Thanks so much! I will look into all of this....
Hello all: I had a lyme disease panel done by neurologist. My symptoms were headaches, neck pain, vertigo, and vision changes (dreamlike). Concurrently, I had brain and cervical spine MRI. The brain...
