Nueropathy and Lyme or MS
I have been tested by a critical care assessment and was told I was showing neurpathy in left arm and leg. Is this typical for Lyme or MS? I am so confused with all my symptoms. Both legs hurt, twitch, muscles roll. I get leg weakness and it doesnt affect my feet except buzzing in the left foot that changes form day to day. HELP??? My symptoms are different eveyday only constant is leg tenderness in the thighs and twitches in my calves. Dr.s are so confusing and dont know whats going on. I have had a ton of testing. Neuro says clear and rheumy says clear excpet for and elevated RA test. LLMD says lyme. I just dont know anymore. Getting so tired of the symptoms, and worried...
Thanks Cyn

Sorry you're feeling so crummy. I remember that feeling well.
Lyme can cause shortness of breath, but Babesia is more likely to be the cause of that particular symptom. Chronic shortness of breath was my second chronic symptom after fatigue. After thinking it was from Lyme for nearly a year, my doc & I finally concluded I did indeed have Babesia. Turns out I have a stubborn case that's been hard to treat.
You could try some herbals to see if you have any Babesia herxing on them. (CryptoPlus, Enula, Artemisinin, A-Bab, Bab-3). I didn't have any reaction to three different ones early in Lyme treatment. I did after the Lyme infection was greatly reduced. My first reaction is a worsening of my shortness of breath and air hunger, dull headaches, fatigue and malaise. After starting Malarone, my spleen became enlarged, which is has been now for months.
I think that Lyme patients with Babesia often feel worse than people with just Lyme. Babesia all by itself can be disabling due to the fatigue and malaise. You might try testing for it. While mine were negative, a lot of other people do test positive.

doing pretty good, still in remission. Hoping for no re-infection this year, though thats highly unlikely.
I am still enjoying remission, hopefully I can avoid reinfection this summer, though thats highly doubtful.
