I sometimes have very graphic sexual dreams...and now it seems sex is constantly on my brain. Does anyone know of this could be attributed to personality changes or neurological changes?

I'm stage three Lyme so I've been experiencing a lot of disorientation, slurring of words, seizures, cognitive problems. I even feel like im developing a depersonalization disorder.

Does anyone know if hypeursexuality is included in this? Please help!

I would also argue that all the pain and suffering lyme patients go through increases their need for pleasure on all levels; food, sex, long warm baths etc etc I think it is important to have this extra pleasure in their lives in order to survive the long battle with lyme treatment

i've felt both loss of libido and a largely increased sex drive...not sure what it's attributed to, but i would certainly agree with davmark in that lyme patients have an increased desire for these pleasures due to the pain and suffering.

I would be completely fine with it but sometimes my dreams and thoughts can be quite violent sexually.

I guess it could be getting intertwined with Lyme rage?

I feel extremely guilty when I wake up in the morning or when an aggressive thought comes out of nowhere but I need to realize I have no control over what this illness is doing to my mind.

I thought I was herxing the first few days bc my seizures.

I got slowly better but about 4 or 5 days ago I started feeling violently nauseated and itchy...confusion and insomnia etc.

When I finally fall asleep I will sleep until 2-3 pm sometimes.

I expected herxing but I'm not for sure.

If you are vomiting it usually means that you have to much medication in your system. I would back of for a day or two and then go at it again.

Like you had mentioned, Lyme has taken away my libido for whatever reason.

Since starting treatment, I will have periods of intense sexual desire and it includes dreams.

But then when I start herxing again.. it's gone

This garbage takes away everything.For me it has.

It started few years ago and I would sit and cry that I had no desire for this or that anymore....even little pleasure like shopping or going to the parks and going out to eat.ALL GONE!

I cant wait to get back even just a little of something pleasurable
