I currently reside in Dallas, but I'm from New York,

and lived in Suffolk, England for 4 years back in the

early 90s.. you know I can't donate blood because of

that? They figure anyone who lived in the UK during

the early 90s is a mad cow carrier..

Hi ,

Personally I don't like the word " cure " because they do not as of yet

know how to iradicate the spirchete out of the body totally so how can there

be a cure? I do however believe that one can obtain a full remission.. As for

your treatment depending on how sick you are you may start off with Oral

antibiotics or possibly IV... Do you have a Lyme Literate doctor now? Best

of Luck

,

I have had Lyme for going on two years in and out of " remission " , if there

is a cure for late stage Lyme I would also like to know. I hit the

neurological stage at the end of last year, every since I have to take

seizure medication and my brain lives in a fog. Yesterday I was such a

basket case my husband thought I was going by-polar. Good luck. sheryl

Sheryl, same thing with me! I have what may be irreversible damage to

certain parts of my brain. I can not learn new things, its so frustrating

and I am on anti seizure medication. today I am having one of my jello

brain days. its like my brain is loose inside my head, if I move my head to

the left, my brain takes time to come with it. geeze that makes no sense.

if I told you the rest of my neurological symptoms, I might be put in a

rubber room! ask your hubby for his patience.

Roe,

Sometimes I think he's going to put me in a rubber room. But as frustrated

as it gets he is patient with me. I get so frustrated with myself that I

close myself up in my room. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one

going through this maybe I'm not so nuts. Thank You for letting me know.

Sheryl

<P> Hi & amp; Welcome,

<P>First of all, there is no cure for Lyme

disease. & nbsp; You might be wise to read as much

information as you can in regards to Lyme...You'll

find doctors are not much help, unless you can find a

good LLMD. & nbsp; Plus, you have us here in the

group...we all KNOW from our experiences. & nbsp; Good

Luck!

nne,

My, your symptom of the head with jello inside and the brain moving around. I

had this right after a closed head injury, so now hmmmm... I used to

say my brain had to much juice around it and I really thought I could feel it.

One is not supposed to feel one's own brain, are they. It was before

August of 1985 that I got sick and this strange feeling came on after the closed

head injury in Feb of 1986. I have read that big stressful

happenings can bring on many Lyme symptoms all at once and I have for the 2 yrs

that I have learned I have Lyme wondered because the symptoms I had

immediately after the head injury were the same as you are having. My seizures

though were just a smell thing, I would smell a smouldering garbage

file, I checked my house and outdoors everytime but the only thing, including

medication, to make them go away was to just lay down and quit doing

what I was doing. Weird thing as I could fill a hanky with perfume and still

smell this smell through the perfume.

I have found over these 15 undiagnoised years, 17 yrs now that symptoms stay

about 6 months and then most of them leave, only to be replaced by

another one.

I did go to a neurophycoligist(its not spelled correctly) for a year for

individual and groups therapy sessions on short term memory, probably some

other things too but then who can remember. Of course too, these symptoms

overlap as to when they come and go. I have learned with Lyme if you don't

use it you will loose it so I have always stayed very active in the brain part.

I just came off a very bad year, had the fog so bad so not quite

sure what all I did do but now that the fog has " lifted " I really realize how

much of the brain workings are troubling me-I can't imagine how bad I

would be had I not continued to keep it active.I do have one advantage, I do or

am working on my family genealogy. THAT keeps the brain active to

say the least. I am able to find info on family but I do have problems keeping

members straight when filling out family sheets-to be honest I am

putting most of them off hoping since I am improving so much I will get better

in the brain part and not really mess them up good like I know I can.

Just wanted you to know that's the first time I ever heard of someone else's

brain feeling like mine did so many years ago. Have you ever had a

depth perception problem?

Colleen, hi, its not a matter of not using it and so loosing it. I know you

didn't mean to offend, but that statement hurts, because it was said to me

by a non lymie about two years ago who knew my computer skills. when I told

her I couldn't remember all I had learned in MS Word, enough to get me to go

for certification and an A+ certificate, she told me " if you don't use it

you loose it " it had nothing to do with not using it. I couldn't use it

because I couldn't find it! it was gone. it started to go even before I

knew I had lyme. I tried to teach someone at work how to make a merge

document, and I couldn't remember how! it was awful! that was my first

symptom of brain problems. I thought I was just getting old. Not! just

spirochetes on the brain. I get the smell thing too, but its usually cat

urine or dog do. and I don't have pets! I would check my grandkids pants

over and over, even though they were all potty trained, I swore one of them

had an accident.

I have to go for neuro physc testing. my neuro says this will narrow down

the problem areas and she will work with me to help correct them or prevent

them from getting worse. but she also tells me she is not sure she can

restore my brain to its previous infected state.

Roe,

I certainly did not mean to hurt your feelings. Immediately from the closed head

injury, which I think alot was the lyme as well, I could not even

dial a touch tone telephone, I could see the number written out but I couldn't

make the connection from the phone book-eyes to the fingers, now that

sounds weird but it is true. Also I could no longer spell ANYTHING, I found that

out since I couldn't dial a phone to call my family in another

state that I would write letters, well, that didn't work either so I decided I

would see if I could still read-Yeah, could still do that and then I

found once I then saw a word in print I could then remember how to spell it.

Before I see a word in print I can't even find it in the

dictionary-just a complete total blank although I can pronounce it and know

which word I want. Seldom do I still run across one of those words but

it still happens, I can pronounce it but cannot for the life of me figure out

what letter is the first letter to even look in the dictionary. I had

been tested years earlier and had lost 23 IQ points with the head injury, I was

told there was nothing I could do to get them back but I did get 6

points back when tested later. What I learned in the year of therapy was a new

way of recalling my old memory and short term memory-It doesn't come

easy, I can still forget if I do not do my " thing " in my head which is repeat it

very fast ten times, even that has it flaws but works most of the

time. So what you knew is still there you just have to be taught a new way to

recall it, I was so bad at the beginning I had to hire someone to

watch me to keep me from getting hurt as I was constantly forgetting to turn

things off-like the stove and would forget to look before crossing a

street. So we can get better it what I am saying. Another thing I have found is

that things have to be totally organized before I can do a

task-something I have to live with but it works, also I can learn new things but

not the way I used to, another thing I learned during my therapy.

Just don't ever give up as that's when the Lyme wins everything.

I have been on Flagyl for 10 weeks, just now getting to 375mgs. All the

neuro symptoms I had are back plus about 3 tons more LOL When driving,

which I try to not do now, I feel like the tail of my truck is sliding out,

guess thats a vertigo thing? Memory is all but shot, have lists all over to

keep me in line. hubby took me to the store the other day and I left my list

at home, I went in for one thing and dangit if I got a load of stuff and

that one thing is still at the store LOL. Anyone get the feeling of weighing

a ton all the time? I know I didnt say that right, I have mind-numbing

fatigue, the kind that tells you to go lay down, *right now* when I get that

tired I feel like my arms and legs are weighed down. God I hate this

disease. Pepi

HI Roe,

Good luck with the doc. I don't really have a smell problem but I

understand about not being able to find it. I try and stimulate my brain

regularly. Unfortunatly my brain wants to sleep most of the time. It's like

trying to wake a sleeping bear.

Well, my family has had me locked up in mental wards many times since

I was a teenager, doctors gave a different diagnosis every time.

Mental wards are no fun, I was chased by scary male patients in the

middle of the night, one time I had my period and asked for some

tampons - the nurses just laughed and thought it was some of my

insanity - a few days later they gave me a cup and demanded a urine

sample, so I gave them a cup of blood ad urine and pus from an

infection (sorry if that's too graphic), well the next day at least

they brought me some tampons. Oh memories. All my life I was never

allowed to be sick, my mother would get angry at me. Consequently,

she never listened to or believed I had any real physical symptoms,

even when I got jaundiced and couldn't stand up for two months. That

is a major reason why I hadn't gotten a proper diagnosis yet. I

have done treatments for yeast and for parasites, each time the herbs

and protocols helped but had no lasting effect when I stopped them.

holly molly Sheryl, where do you live! what idiots. they are just ignorant

and don't understand. our disability is invisible and people will judge us.

don't take it personally, its just the way some people are. i have SSD and

LTD, and i would give it up in a minute to have my brain back and a job. but

many of my X friends think i am happy to be on disability.

I have gotten rather pissy the last few years, so in saying this, please

know I do not mean to offend anyone. Tell them that a person in a casket

looks great also, does that mean they need to hop up and get a job? I have

tried many ways of phrasing things, but this makes the person stop and never

speak to me like that again. Pissy-Pepi

Pepi,

I thought that " weighed down feeling " was the terrible fatigue everyone was

talking about? Had it for years too! That is one of the symptoms of mine

that have left. I still get tired, take many breaks but when I am breaking I no

longer need that " sleep " for a few minutes. I think if my poor leg

could stand it there might even be a bounce in my step. I used to finish a meal

and between the table and the kitchen sink I believe I could have

layed down in the middle of the floor and had a nap before continuing on to the

sink to take dirty plate. This symptom has been gone now for a week.

Houston, please send me some of your rain! At least 5 inches of it.
