I am so clumsy today. Things fly out of my hands, and I have been bumping into walls. Anyone else have these problems? My hands feel like they are someone elses that I am controlling through fog with a remote control. So frustrating. Feels like something worse than Lyme disease.

This has been one of my worst symptoms for the past week or so...I'm happy to report it's fading, though. In my case it got really bad after starting minocycline, so my rough guess is that, since this abx crosses the blood brain barrier, these symptoms are the result of having killed off A LOT of bugs in my brain/nervous system, and it's just taking a bit of time to draw all of the neurotoxins out, I guess. Just a hypothesis. about a week ago I walked into every single wall in my path, literally 5 times just going from my bedroom to the kitchen, dropped at least half of the pills I was trying to put in my mouth, etc. Extra water and keeping my diet extra, extra clean seems to be helping. Hang in there!

What a relief to know someone else is having it too. I started Z-pack last Thursday. Maybe that is why I am having the hardest time holding things in my hand. I put bolts and nuts in baggies for part time work, and they kept flying out of my hand. Pills too. THey drop to the floor and I try to pick them up as quickly as possible-5 second rule.
My body is going to be bruised up by all the knocking around. Such a weird side effect.

I know, so weird! I feel like I'm drunk, minus the nice parts of it. Even when I make a conscious effort not to smash into something, no such luck! For so long my family joked about putting me in a bubble, now I'm thinking it's not such a bad idea!

I hope this eases up for you soon!

I've had that. One day I dropped a half-gallon of orange juice on the floor, broke several glasses and dropped a gallon of milk. I was losing feeling of my hands for a while, but it's starting to get a little better now.

Yes- I don't have it often, but I believe this is neurological. When I was having bad days I would drop EVERYTHING! Car keys, papers etc. And I couldn't walk straight either (not that I am especially good at that at the best of times, lol)
