Any info will be greatly appreciated; as I am currently very confused and discouraged.

Thanks

I have had very similar symptoms...neurological...and it is very frightening. Some of what you describe (the cold blood feeling) is what I have with the neuropathy in my spine...and when it comes, ya just have to ride it out. Man does it suck - so you are not alone.

I have also in the past had a type of seizure where my body would basically just freeze. I could see and hear but was totally unable to move...then would have mild jitters upon coming out of it...it was scary and only lasted for a short time...

As far as passing to a spouse - the answer is still up in the air on that one. I believe it can - I have known people who swear that it happened to them. And there is evidence that points to both yes and no. Such a typical Lyme thing - it depends on where it is in your body basically. I tell people to take actions as you would with herpes...If you suspect - then get tested - but remember that there are no certainties with the tests either...

If you are seeing an LLMD - which you should be for best results, discuss it with them too...

But hang in there. it is tough and can be a really horrible experience, but you arent alone. You have come here to a really good place, we have tons of great people with really great info - compassionate ears - and even a little bit of humor...

Always feel free to PM if you need anything = even to vent - I never take it personal

Neuro symptoms are common with lyme, unfortuatly. They can be quite scary. You definitly want to start treatment asap.

as far as passing it to a partner, as Christine said, it's up in the air. Some studies say yes, others say no. If you are concerned about it, definitly take precausions, and if you feel it's already happend, you should both be tested and treated if necissary. Some people/docs say that families are usually in the same areas together, and likely all infected together.

When you consider that lyme can be transmitted thru ticks, mosquiotos, and fleas, it doesn't seem to far fetched that pretty much everyone has probly been bit at one time or another.

Again... I am greatful for everyone that has helped; Thanks

You may just have a really tough case. I have never had a full remission, and everytime I had a huge crash I developed new and worse things. As it was put in my records, I have an unspecified CNS disorder (which has become neuropathy), unspecified brain disorder...and each came with some pretty hefty symptoms - ALL while being under treatment. There were times when my LLMDs were a bit perplexed...So hang in and keep fighting.

Are you drinking enough water? Plain water half your weight in ounces daily will help to balance you out and help with detox...but you should look into some good detox teas, and regimines...check with a good health food store...there is something else that is on the tip of my thoughts - but sorry I just cant seem to grab it right now.

I think I am having a set back the past few days, but I know then to take it easy if I can...I have been out of work for 5 months and I have a temp job starting tomorrow for the next two weeks, wish I did not have to do it when you feel like crap...But oh well have to...

I also take detox baths twice a day with epsom salt with lavender (lavender is for calming me) I do believe they help with the pain...

I wish you the best of luck in your recovery
