Is it just me? Is anyone else having/had the same symptoms as me. I think i’d find comfort in knowing Lyme is attacking another person similarly. I’m basically wanting to know if I’m crazy or not. lol. I’m interested in maybe just sharing all our weird symptoms, and hopefully finding someone else who has been though it and found a remedy…

Yes let us know what symptoms you have and I would be interested in what remedies or treatments everyone is using.

I have had the craziest symptoms too! Some that I can’t even find words to describe. And I do ok for a couple of weeks then BAMM inflammation and what I call a face episode where my face will hurt or a blurred type of vision( this is one that I can’t fully find words to describe) Or a feeling of walking sideways for a minute like a equilibrium problem. I’ve had cold/hot issues. Either I’m by a heater ( Yes a heater in summer ) or sweating like crazy. Just went through a round of stomach problems which I believe to be part of Lyme’s symptoms. Spent thousands to find out that the muscles in my stomach are weak and it is causing digestion process to go to slow. So far B12 pills and meloxicam for inflammation is what I’m taking.
I can not stop burping, I call them gas bubbles, I know this isn’t attractive at all, but it’s what I’m experiencing, lol it’s just random spots that start hurting, and when I rub them, it makes me burp. Or sometimes I kinda have to force myself to burp, it doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but I’m probably burping upwards of 300 times a day. I also keep getting a burning in my stomach with intense nausea and sometimes I also get really hot simultaneously.
My heart rate climbs really fast for no reason and can last for days, I can feel my heart beat intensely and the base of my throat. My legs feel like I have shin splints or something similar, the pain goes about half way up my shin and all the way down to my toes in both legs. This has been happening for about 4 days now, and it’s becoming painful to walk. I have the worst brain fog. Sometimes I’ll be in the middle of my sentence and completely forget what I was talking about. I have been moody and unable to snap myself out of my funk, which isn’t like me. In the center of my chest I keep getting this pain, and it’s a dull constant pain… And I’ve had diarrhea for about 2 months now. I’m having the hardest time gaining weight. I’ve dropped 20 pounds since the begging of the year, and I didn’t need to lose weight, people keep tell me how grossly skinny I look, but I can’t help it 
My hands have been in crippling pain, I walked into work crying the other day, and was in to much pain to preform simple tasks, like writting, eating, texting…

I was doing the burping thing too!!! It may be GERD. And its probably 1 reason for the pain in the chest ( gas ) It can really hurt! I started taking a VERY strong probiotic. 150 Billion with 40 probiotics strains is what my surgeon put me on for 1 month before he done a endoscopy on me 2 weeks ago. I had the leg pain too. I use ‘‘CALM’’ magnesium for that. I get it at the health food store. Around $15. Eat more bananas. For my inflammation pain I use meloxicam ( miracle drug ) ask your dr for it. I sometimes get the brain fog too. Lyme’s has changed my life! It’s like it goes from part of my body to the next! Maybe try a milkshake every evening for some weight gain. I want you to know that you are not alone 
Hang in there!
I have had Lyme since June of 2008 but just got diagnosed last fall. my symptoms are all over the map. Has anyone had locking fingers(trigger finger)? I have had 3 surgeries for that. I have the brain fog and couldn’t remember how to run my machine or do my part checks, chronic fatigue but also not being able to sleep. I’m freezing during the day, and sweating all night. I am on my 2nd course of IV antibiotics, the last one was last November. I k
new something was wrong with my brain when I couldn’t do my job, so I went back to Dr and he sent me in for an MRI and found 3 spots on my brain, that is probably Lyme related. Considering how long I had Lyme without being treated I am doing better than some people. I need another hand surgery because I have bone on bone, with all the time off work for treatment I’m trying not to get fired and lose my insurance.
I was diagnosed with lyme a few days ago. My earliest symptoms were bladder problems and red eyes, then increased anxiety, then finally flu-like symptoms including severe fatigue, weakness, palpitations, facial flushing and feeling pressure and congestion around my head, and nausea. I purchased a good multivitamin by MegaFood, take CALM magnesium, and just ordered beta glucan since reading that it helps with lyme symptoms by regulating the immune system and controlling cytokines. I’m interested in any natural approaches anyone uses to treat lyme or its symptoms.
Hi. I was diagnosed last month with Lyme Disease with a co-infection of Babesia. The myriad of symptoms I have experienced in the last six months is mind boggling. And I agree with Nikki, I started to feel crazy at some point. I was an athlete before I became ill, but we all know how dramatically this disease can change your life. My symptoms are: chronic fatigue; weakness; brain fog (confusion, memory loss, impaired judgement/reason); dizziness, stiff and achy joints and neck; loss of balance; decreased dexterity; altered taste; slurred speech; chest pain; numbness in hands and feet; intolerance to heat/cold; flushing; moodiness/grumpiness; multiple nutrient deficiences; high blood pressure; and an uncomfortableness in my own skin (things/clothes touching me either make me itch or feel like sandpaper). I have decided to treat my lyme naturopathically, so I am on major doses of vitamin C and doing nutritional IV therapy. I also meditate with a tibetan singing bowl which gives me a little bit of peace and relief.
