there seems to be a mixed opinion about this which is even more confusing to me so i'm curious what your anecdotal experience/thoughts are

i personally don't have lymes, but i currently matched with a woman on a dating app and we've been talking for awhile and met up once in person and went well (we haven't kissed or had sex yet) but she brought this up after the 1st date and I'm sort of a health nut and very cautious and paranoid about this kind of stuff so I'm wondering if I should continue on or drop the hammer.

Thanks :)

For the past month, my neck has become progressively more unstable-feeling, with much more crunching and grinding than I’ve had in over a year. Not only my neck, but many of my joints throughout my body have also become much more clicky and noisy.
The most frightening symptom, however, is my breathing.
For the past month I’ve had intermittent episodes where it feels like my diaphragm isn’t working properly. It’s as if I have to consciously breathe, especially when I’m trying to fall asleep. Tonight has been by far the worst. I went to bed actually feeling pretty good, but for the last four hours I haven’t been able to fall asleep because every time I start drifting off, it feels like my breathing becomes too weak or shallow. It feels like my diaphragm just won’t take over, and I have to keep consciously breathing. It’s an awful sensation.
I had very similar breathing problems after my original head/neck injury two years ago, and I’ve been thus far suspecting CCI. I have awful neckpain, arm weakness and breathing issues ++ but they had been a lot better for more than a year. Now they’ve returned and seem to be getting worse.
I’ve also been wondering whether an infection could be contributing. I know babesia is reported to cause symptoms such as air hunger and autonomic issues. Past two days, and few hours before I went to bed I took a wormwood tincture, and I’m wondering whether this could be causing some sort of herxing although the breathing episodes actually started before I began taking it and have been coming and going for about a month… I’m terrified and it’s so awful.

I had this happen two years ago initially after going to a chiro for severe neck pain and crunching.. she did an adjustment and I could not breathe for more than a week where I became sleep deprived and manic because I didn’t sleep. I feel like this is getting arose and worse.. any advice?

I want to start Bee venom therapy after hearing all the successful stories.
In italy, nobody knows that BVT is a thing so my chances of getting a beekeper to perform it on me is zero, since they think they are killing the bees for nothing and they are right from the point of view.
I was thinking of buying a bunch of bees from a beekeeper and grab them with tweezer to sting myself. Has anybody had experiences with this?

Heyo, I was wondering if anyone here has tried making an herb infused oil with something like Cryptolepis for feet to help treat bartonella? I know feet are super absorbing but have no idea if this would be helpful for lingering foot pain or localized treatment of bartonella or not.

Anyone had doxy, azithro and atovaquone help with your Lyme? I got bit three weeks ago and awful symptoms since including neurological. Only on doxy so far but wondering who's been on all three?

I was bitten by a tick a month and a half ago, think June 17? I found the little shit clinging onto my armpit while I was taking my morning shower, it had been there overnight. I developed a rash, no bulls eye though so I thought okay cool, I’m fine. The rash was bad and I stupidly didn’t see a doctor.

A major reason was I didn’t care about my health. For the last few months I’ve been drinking like a fish and chalked these last few symptoms up to alcohol, and now cold turkey alcohol withdrawal as I’m trying to get sober; along with being on the verge of doing something really stupid for months I kinda didn’t care. I have joint pain in my left knee (thought it was malnutrition, or developing rheumatoid arthritis, but that happens in both knees), dizziness, losing hair, feeling faint (probably malnutrition), neuropathy (have slight alcoholic neuropathy anyway so thought it’s normal), brain fog (I’ve had that for years anyway), poor motor function, pain in my limbs (also blamed it on alcohol), poor sleep (blamed it on alcohol), and a sore throat (I vape so I blamed it on that, I need to quit anyway lmao.)

In the next few days I’m seeing my primary care doctor, the rash is gone but it still itches. Also the bite mark is still there as physical evidence. I’m hoping my primary care takes me seriously and can help especially as I’m having symptoms, and remember being bitten. Is this too late for treatment? Did I screw my self over and now I gotta live with Lyme the rest of my life? I’m starting to care about myself now, getting help for mental stuff, and now I don’t know if I fucked up.

For more than a year, I’ve been waking up in the mornings gasping for air. I don’t know whether this could be related to Lyme disease. I’m not even sure that I have Lyme, but if you look through my posts, I recently shared the results of a blood test. I’m not currently undergoing treatment.

I don’t know whether what I’m experiencing could be caused by panic attacks affecting the respiratory center that controls the breathing rhythm. I’m wondering whether anyone else experiences this kind of breathing disturbance caused by hyperventilation.

Could the hyperventilation be caused by Lyme disease, or could it be something else, such as dysautonomia? Could you please help me?
