How does your lyme present itself?

View More Posts Ignore
I am getting blood work done this weekend...because a non-specific brain lesion was found during an MRI I had done (because of intermittent vertigo). The report suggested a lyme titer. Now that I think about it..maybe all that I have felt is related to lyme. I am just wondering how your lyme presents itself. Are you continuously symptomatic. I am not. But I would really like a diagnosis as this lesion scares me a little.

Thank you for your time.

" I'm sorry you are having to go through all this. I have 2 daughters with Lyme. Some of their symptoms are similar--some are very different. Their symptoms fluctuate from day to day--sometimes from hour to hour. Both have had debilitating fatigue, headaches, dizziness, shooting pains, sore throats, stomach aches, trouble thinking, etc. One of them has had a lot of neck and back pain, shooting ear pain, light and sound sensitivity, and major cognitive decline. My other daughter has had more migrating joint pains and hand tremors and has had trouble concentrating at school. One of my daughters is able to attend school on a full time, daily basis (almost). My other daughter has been out of school for over 1 1/2 years now. I'm just trying to get her back a couple of hours a day a few times a week.

I hope you can find the answers you are looking for. And my wish for you is health. "

" All...well my blood work came back "normal," per my ENT. I requested that she said the report to me. I will let you know what it says. "

" Brain fogs or forgetfulness ( was so not my style before ppfffttt )
aches
irritability
occasional swelling ( hands, feet )
headaches
fatigue AND insomnia ( too fun )
aggravation of other common ailments like a cold or allergies
IBS
other assorted ones pop up now and then
I work through each one. I guess I do it fairly well because others tend to forget my problem and act surprised if I'm off my game. THAT can be the worst.
Find what works for you and take the time it needs to do so. I drown myself staying busy or reading. A trip to Barnes and Noble is terrific therapy.
