what's wrong w/me?

Yes, I do have Lyme. Chronic Lyme, in the heart, brain and all the other important parts :(
Two concerns I have:
1. What is the Q rib test?
2. I know most of my problems are LD related. However, I also frequently have the following problems, which really SCARES me:

I begin to sweat HEAVILY
Get dizzy
Get very weak, it is difficult to stand up/sit up/or move
Severe shaking
In the past, usually, some peanut butter & graham crackers with milk would help.
Lately, the symptoms are increasing and the PB/G & Milk don't work as well. I've now had to include peanut butter cups (candy bars)..and after a while, it gets better.
Is this all part of the LD?  Heart stuff? Potential seizures in the future? Low sugar? what!!??
I'd appreciate ANY thoughts!

I don't know much about diabetes, but have you tested for co-infections?  I've found that magnesium helps with tremors and twitches.

If it is low blood sugar it can still be from the lyme messing up your endocrine system.

Thanks for comment! I guess with all the "Lyme Baggage" my doc just assumes I full of doodie and isn't taking me seriously enough to test.  :(
It would be such a Blessing to have a doc who knows LD as well as other stuff-but well, that's the problem with Lyme..few know much in my area.
Peace,
Cindy

Sounds like low blood sugar if it responds to peanut butter.
