Hi , Yes, it does, it comes and goes, I have had long periods on abx (antibiotics) when there was no numbness on any parts of my body, but eventually it recurs. You will find many of your symptoms wax and wane, that's what makes this disease so maddening, you get your hopes up that it is finally gone, and bam....it's back.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Hi , It is so true, people just do not want to hear bad things, so when I am asked, I say, " good days, bad days. " Actually, I get tired of hearing myself complain, so I can imagine how others would feel if I told them the truth!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 Hi Reid, A good day is any day I can get up out of bed and get online and answer my mail and participate with this group. Or a day when I feel like I have energy enough to clean the bathroom, or refrigerator out, yes, I may have several bad days thereafter, but I do get a small feeling of accomplishment when I do those things, so I still call those good days. Maybe we should call them " Good Moments, " but if we told that to people who do not have this illness, they wouldn't have a clue anyway.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Hi Sharon, Yes, I have this tingling - almost a burning in feet (very common, from what I understand) - seems like it's the middle of the toes out. Also, tingling in hands. Daughter with confirmed babesia, lyme & ehrylichia gets shakiness in legs & hands when stressed. (Used to be all the time - even sitting still or lying in bed, so hopefully the RIfe & meds are working.) Has she had a PCR test done? What about a live, whole blood test and/or a culture? Is she still on abxs? Will keep her in our thoughts & prayers, too - along with all victims of lyme & other serious diseases... Blessings & velcros, CHris PS - Does anyone know how MS is actually differentiated from lyme on MRIs? Is lyme just " ruled out " - then MS is assumed?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Hi Sharon, I think it's Lyme related also. I never had those sorts of problems until my tick bite occurred. Now I have numb hands and feet. My hands and feet NEVER felt cold in the winter and they sure are cold now.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Anyone heard of numbness on the head? thank you lea << Sharon, Yes, Yes & Yes.....I have constantly numb hands, feet on occasion. I had emg's done and showed carpal tunnel in both hands, I have much difficulty grasping anything, writing at all, but somehow I still manage to type for an hour or two, before it gets too annoying. It is definitely LD. I read somewhere, but of course cannot recall, that a Dr had surgery 5 times on his carpal tunnel, and when it did not ever heal it, he finally dx'd himself with LD. There is also an abstract somewhere, I printed it out for my doctor, but unfortunately did not save in a word program, it said that in late stage LD, that carpal tunnel is common. Maybe you can find it on Art's pages, http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Oasis/6455/lyme-links.html or Lymenet.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hey Muttluver I only have heard of tingling in arms, elbows and shoulders when there is a subluxation in your cervical spine. I work at a chiropractor and many who think they need to be operated for carpal tunnel and other things have it corrected with a simple cervical adjustment. Maybe someone here has experienced it from candida or die off. Are you neck muscles tight. Do you get headaches. I would explore a good chiropractor in your area (ask around and go to one you hear the name multiple times) for a good one. It could be tension has tightened you up and is squeezing on the nerves through the neck and shoulder region which causes radiation down the arms. It is not uncommon. Good luck to you.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I was told that the numbness and tingling in my arms was due to the muscles in my underarms and near my sholder blades be so overused they were impacted. Just picking up my kids and other various things did me in. So it's not like it's got to be working in a coal mine for a week. Even normal activity. I stretched and stretched and pretended I was a cat every time I stood up, and in three days the numbness and tingling disapeared. I was very relieved as I was thinking that my spine had maybe pinched on a nerve and I couldn't afford a chiro at the time. So I seriously reccomend stretching, especially certain yoga moves that stretch your back, neck and arms. Hey, what the heck, I think yoga helped my health so much I reccomend it all the time. For the arms and back though, I would reccomend; Marjarasana Cat Cow Vajrasana Extended puppy pose Savasana Corpse pose http://www.ebmyoga.com/beginyoga.html (pictures there) and The Half Spinal Twist Posture http://www.santosha.com/asanas/ardhamatsyendra.html The Half Moon Posture http://www.santosha.com/asanas/ardhachandra.html The Child Posture http://www.santosha.com/asanas/bala.html The Cobra Posture http://www.santosha.com/asanas/naga.html The Diamond or Thunderbolt Posture http://www.santosha.com/asanas/vajra.html This is the one I find helps most my upper back, you have to make sure you are pressing your tailbone towards the ground though for it to work. an md reccomends these for your back http://www.yoga.com/ydc/enlighten/enlighten_document.asp?ID=308 & section=9 & cat=144 I tried to include only the pretty easy ones, they do hurt at some points those. Especially those with advanced symptoms like CFS and fibro. I've done yoga for two years now almost, and have never gone beyond just stretching and have lost 50 lbs, gained a TON of energy, and am no longer so plauged by pain I can't sleep.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi I just read in The Yeast Connection by G. Crook MD that numbness and tingling can be caused by Candida. After elimanating other possibilities ...it may be the big C. Kathy -- RE: numbness It sounds like fibromyalgia. I get this too from bad reactions to food, chemicals. I actually think fibromyalgia happens because of the toxic build up in your system. Getting on top of the candida, definitely helps to get rid of it. I find chemicals to be particularly bad for it.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Meredith, Very good suggestion. I work part time in a chiropractor. I have talked to many people who start yoga classes and reduce thier visits to maintenance or choose not to go anymore. I have taken a few classes with a friend who exchanges massage for them. I recall the first time when I did a twisting stretch my midback spine adjusted all over the place. Also my chiro only charges $20 a visit for those without insurance and $10 for kids. So if you are not anti-chiro it is often doable. Most chiros believe so much in what they do they are not SOOO into the money end. My experience anyway, I worked for one who never turned anyone down and even took baked goods for adjustments. Happy stretching.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 , If you don't mind, may I ask, did you ever see a neuroligist about the numbness? Do you have no feeling or tingling? Mine is tingling. To tell you the truth it scares me terribly. I have nightmares even after the MRI of my neck area saying there is no nerve damage and the surgeon said it was norm and would return slowly. He said nerves only heal at less than a mm per day. > > Dear , > > I am numb on the front side of my left thigh.
