Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Hi , I myself do not suffer from this. But my friend who I met on a lyme board does. She cannot feel the sensation to void (urinate or bowel movement). She has to listen for when she is done. she also does not experience pain or emotions. She describes it as living in the third dimension. So far she has not improved on anything. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone with these sx.

I have read 's book and found it a source of information. In particular, wondering if anyone here suffered from sensory neuropathy. Mine is pretty bad. My lower legs have lost all sensory impulses and my arms are " abnormal " on a nerve conduction study. THe neurologist has checked for MS, LUPUS, B-12 deficiency, Folic acid, Electrolytes, and did a albumin protein electrophoresis (whatever that is). ... He can't find anything. I had a MRI and awaiting those results. In particular, would anyone have any knowledge of what herbs are best for this? It is Lyme because I was bit by several ticks in my life and I do have numerous other Lyme symptoms but this sensory neuropathy has prevented me from working. Please help. Thank you for listening.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thank you so much . What is really strange is that the electro nerve conduction test indicated muscles are perfectely NORMAL Sensory pathways: ZERO SIGNAL .... I mean not EVEN a diminished signal rather NO signal at all He said that he was able to say with certainity it was not the demyelinating kind of neuropathy? It can ONLY be Lyme or metal poisening (cuz that is all that I could find that would cause this) Labs normal Not MS Not LUPUS Not Nutritional Problem NOT ANYTHING! Doctors these days can be so uncaring. Very frustrating and now I am fired from my job > In particular, wondering if anyone here suffered from sensory > neuropathy. Mine is pretty bad.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thank you Rhonda, I wonder if this individual you mentioned had this start in her feet/legs and hand/arms like mine? If that is what is in store for me than I can't deal. I already can't deal trying to support myself at nearly 50 years of age and can't work. I learned my benefits and job will end the day after Christmas. I'd been off work since September and no income, so I am so frustrated that my daughter wants me to be alive, yet it is just to darn hard to remain alive. Death would be welcome right now. She lives a thousand miles away. I hate being an invalid. I guess it's off to the social service agency's. I can't think what else to do. The certified letter came today telling me I have NOTHING SECURE anymore.

Without Fent patches I couldn't make it through the day! So the first thing I try to do each day is meditate and focus on my affirmations which may not seem like much but it really helps me with my positive outlook which seems light years away many, many days. Here are a couple favorites: " THE MOST HANDICAPPED PERSON IN THE WORLD IS A NEGATIVE THINKER " OR " LIFE IS AN EXPRESSION OF ALL YOUR THOUGHTS " In addition, there is a product you can get that is available through health stores but you will find my best source in my free ebook " Lyme Combat II " you can download at www.lymediseaseresource.com Blessings!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thank you Heidi, I do have cats claw. I just never took it faithfully. I will start right away. I need to get some tumeric. SO you legs are no longer numb? That is so encouraging! My hands do tingle too. This Lyme sucks and MD's don't want to help. From: Ambitionn01@... <Ambitionn01@...> Subject: [ ] Re:Help with Neuro Lyme Symptoms Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2008, 12:45 PM : I have neuro symptoms. I think Turmeric helps a lot. I think Samento (Cat's Claw) helped a lot. I can't remember what else, but I take a hodge-podge of things to kill pathogens and detox. I am doing lots better. I no longer have leg numbness, but still have finger tingles and such, and I have poor endurance and strength still. I live like I am normal, but my strength is much less than what it used to be in that my muscles get tired easily. I can clean my house, but I could not do yard work for a living. Love and prayers, Heidi N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi from Lymeover: Try taking alpha lipoic acid and Guto kola and lots of fish oil. I take lithium occasionally now. I too live almost normal, but I watch what I eat. When I want chololate I know the lyme is growing so I know to fast white anything more. I don't eat wheat or milk or peanuts or mushrooms anymore. For me that helped. I no longer an aping out with suppliments. To many suppliments slow down my digestive processes Sincerely and Merry merry beleiveing for us all to ber touched by God's hand Lymeover and out From: kmwmar <kmwmar@...> Subject: Re: [ ] Help with Neuro Lyme Symptoms Date: Wednesday, December 17, 2008, 9:58 AM Thank you Heidi, I do have cats claw.
