" It's tricky. If you are on lyrica for your seizures it may be adding to your balance problems so you might want to ask about that. My balance was so bad I had to use a cane frequently.... but when I went off lyrica that symptom got a lot better... not gone, but better.

I am so sorry to hear about the severity of your symptoms..... it must be very frightening for you. I have lost a lot b/c of lyme, so I can only imagine what this feels like for you. Are you still in treatment, if you don't mind my asking? If you need anything including just an ear (a cyber ear) let me know.... hugs to you.... Donna "

" Yes - these cann all be lyme symptoms. Some symptoms you need to be patient with and some symptoms need to be treated along with treating the lyme and theco infections. are you on a great vitamin mineral routine. this can help. some of your symptoms may also be due to adrenal fatigue which is caused by long term lyme.

Drink lots of water. cut out sugar. cut back on caffeine as much as possible. eat tons of veggies and call your LLMD for advice. "

" HI
Those were some of the scariest symptoms for my daughter and I, yet with our new LLMD (who can direct you to the right meds combos to take), we are getting through this together, because it took us a long time to ever trust a doc again......please hang in there, it can get better, some days are really bad, but dont let the "herxing" from the meds or the bad days control you.....
I got a pair of "forearm" crutches, so I woulnt be afraid of the falling down anymore, and had friends around me for when I would always drop things when shopping etc, helped with my confidence alot. I was so afraid after I dropped a casserole dish on myself right out of the oven that I didn't cook for awhile, yet now that I know what to expect it isn't so bad. Once the fear of the symptoms go away, you can go on to focus on taking care of all the other health issues involved. There I go repeating myself again! Ha! Just one of the other symptoms I had to learn to accept myself for......realizing that it is normal to feel this way, I went on to focusing on the greater purpose, helping others! I couldn't do THAT for a very long time......all the anger got in the way......now I can forgive myself too.....(oh, yeah, a "spelling" checker really helped on my computer too!)...Hope you find your way by following others' light and then you will go into yours!
