What the @&%!!!!

Question for all of you.....have you had this symptom?

I have Bartonella and have neuro symptoms and all. Mostly I've been doing really well and have recovered almost all of my ability to remember, find words, work efficiently, even some of my sense of humor has been returned to me....overall feeling very positive about my healing process and physically am coming back into my own. I was able to take my first walk around the neighborhood with my dogs in over a year! Woot!

Ok, admittedly I have had a rough week.....I've had personal issues at home and it's been stressful trying to keep up with my work load and have been falling behind. Between work and home and not getting enough sleep and down time, I know it's been a crazy week for my Lymie self.

With that said, so, a new thing that started happening to me this week is stuttering! WTH? I have never, ever had an issue with this. I could honestly feel my brain going round and round like a record on one word and couldn't stop it. I kept saying the same word like 5, 6 times. I realized how weird it was and was eventually able to just shut up and stop talking, stop making the word come out of my mouth. This happened to me several times this week. Thankfully, the people it occurred with were patient with me while I got my little brain to just stop....and relax and start over again and I used a completely different word and then I didn't stutter, I didn't get stuck. I can't remember what the words were that I got stuck on but they were common words....I don't remember if they had the same phonetics or anything.

Just so weird. I hope this one doesn't stick around for long. I'm guessing it's a Lyme thing, because I can't imagine any other reason I'd be doing this. What are your thoughts?

Thanks for the input!

I wish I could tell you that it doesn't mean you won't have a seizure, but no one can. Seizures are caused by so many things. I can tell you that after I started stuttering, it was about 4 months later that I experienced my first seizure. But just because that was my timeline, it in no way means it's your timeline as well.

Yep, stress is now your #1 enemy. Stress is incredibly hard on a healthy body! When one is as deeply compromised by these infections, even small amounts of stress can be devastating for at least short periods of time. The key is to lower your stress levels so you can heal and your body isn't so sensitive to them.

Find way that are effective for you to destress. Some find meditation is very beneficial (I prefer mindfulness meditation /goo.gl/UL7M0S), some can exercise and use that to help them destress.

Hopefully this is only a one time incidence for you.
