Mental problems in lyme?

Lately she started to behave very oddly, her, that was always calm and pleasant, now she became aggressive, firstly in language, then even physically, she's very nervous all the time, and she slowly started to forget things and people.

One doc said it's dementia, another said it could be Alzheimer's, and our family doc said that it can also be from lyme.

Now that I found this place, with people that know more about lyme than the average people do, I'd like to ask if lyme can also give mental issues and change somebody's behaviour almost completely. Lyme alone?

Don't know which way to go, who to listen to. She's 70, but she's strong and she can fight.

Thanks for listening.

i'd have her get tested for western blot igm/igg blood test performed by igenex, calif. there is a post dealing with all the details i posted elsewhere on this board. see that please so i don't have to repeat and forget or screw something up when typing it up ok!

Check out Dr Brian Fallon's work. He is a member of ILADS and works out of the Columbia Lyme Disease Research Center.

I have spoken to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, and requested that the include a resource to rule out Lyme disease, because it causes ALL of the psychological diagnosis'.

Take care,

Leslie
