Static in vision and more...does this go away with treatment

[skimordiegirl]

Hi,

I just got my positive igenex on the IgM by igenex standards and cdc plus positive whole blood pcr.

I have migraines, static in vision, afterimages, when I drive my peripheral vision is choppy and not smooth, I also have brain fog and other symptoms.

Anyone had this and it goes away with treatment??

Thank you all!! I think I am going to see if anything happens with the cars claw and then see about getting on the abx. I have systemic candida too but I hear the cats claw can help with that too.

Don't be afraid of taking antibiotics -- after all, Lyme is a bacterial infection in the same family as syphilis, which is nothing to mess around with.

I am taking cats claw but I am also on abx so its hard for me to know exactly what affect it has had.

Don't let those Lyme deniers get to you. The public is not aware of the truth about Lyme thanks to the CDC and IDSA.

Hang in there!

Hi thanks!!! I feel very welcome here! I keep running into people telling me igenex is always positive, etc. and that I don't have lyme.

I will have to let my neuro opthalmologist know of the diagnosis... I haven't told him yet.

I feel like my vision is the worst symptom wise but I have twitching and painful thighs when you touch them also I don't seem to regulate my temperature very well.... I am usually shivering. I have Graves' disease on top of all of this too.

I hear my vision issues are pretty rare so it's good to hear they can get better with treatment.

My dr wanted to do abx but I asked of I could try a natural approach first. I am going to try cats claw to see if I have any herxibg to it. Has anyone else tried it?

My opthalmologist was ok but my Retina specialist was very Lyme literate.

Sorry to hear you've joined the Lyme club, but glad you have a diagnosis -- that's the first step to getting well.

Of all the specialty docs, I have heard (and also experienced with my ophthalmologist) that eye docs generally take Lyme very seriously -- unlike some other specialty branches of medicine, where the docs are in disarray.

I had gotten used to apologizing and down playing my diagnosis with my various docs as I rotated through them (gyn, dermatologist etc.) for the usual stuff, telling them about my Lyme diagnosis just so the docs were aware and knew what meds I was on ... and of all the docs I told, the eye doc was the one to sit up straight and say "Oh, yes, I take that very seriously and am glad you told me."  Quite refreshing.

Asking around, I found that ophthalmology in general has that independent approach to Lyme, so do check in with you eye doc so s/he can be on top of things as treatment progresses.

I have had those symptoms and they do improve with treatment. I am not done with my treatment so I am sure when I am, as I had heard from others it does go away.

What treatment are you on?
