Strange memory issues...

My short-term memory was really, really bad for awhile - but not all the time - it would come in waves.

When I got the car insurance renewal form, I filed it with the paid bills. Then I drove my car without insurance for a few months. I had no recollection of getting the notice and filing it.
I have never ever done anything like that before...


My memory issues are not happening as often now.

But today I was walking with a friend and I couldn't remember what day of the week it was.

I'm hoping it's from Lyme and co's and repairable.

Oh - and I've also had cheques returned - because I didn't sign them. Never have done that prior to lyme.

Well, actually it was more than just memory when I took my insurance renewal and filed it as if I had paid it.

I think it still is brain issues from Lyme or co's affecting the brain.


I bet if I thought about it for awhile I would be able to recall some other bizarre events.

Tku all. I feel a little better knowing its likely the lyme...but not that much better because I'm 50, but are doing things I would expect of a 90 year old. I do hope it gets better with more treatment.

I used to do this kind of stuff all the time. Boy, was it frustrating!! I finally got to the point where if I did anything, I would write it down so that I knew what I had done and when I had done it.

Oh my goodness, yes I've done things like this, too. Once I filed a check for a large sum of money at work in my files for paid invoices. I thankfully was doing a self audit and found the check and took it out and deposited it before it was noticed missing. Thank goodness! I had no recollection of receiving or filing the check and would have been in BIG trouble or even possibly dismissed from my duties if I hadn't have found it and deposited it in time. That was super scary for me. How I could not have any memory of doing that was even more scary....that's a whole chain of events that I didn't remember.

Now, I am super conscious and double and triple check all of my work at work. I cannot afford to loose my job, you know!

What are you doing specifically for inflammation? Most of these brain issues are specific to inflammation as a result of neurotoxins.

This feels a bit different from what you are describing though... I am actually DOING odd/weird things( and not remembering it happening) as opposed to all the things you have described which involve forgetting to do things. Maybe it's a different manifestation of the same thing... It seems worse/scarier /more dementia like to me.

Hi, I fully understand, this was actually what made me realize something serious was going on. Whether it was the Lyme or not, I wasn't sure at first, but my experiences have been:

Most significant: I was preparing lunch for work the next day. I recall the activity of preparing the lunch and cleaning up. I don't remember anything after that, but several hours later I woke up in the bed (mattress only) in a spare bedroom that I NEVER go in...the door stays shut and there is no light, so I had no reason to go in there, let alone lie down on the mattress when I had been restfully watching TV in my own bed before getting up to prep the lunch.

Most of the other experiences include finding things in odd places, like ice cream in fridge, putting things down in atypical places and then not remembering the action of putting them there. Other experiences include just not remembering my activities the night before and either doing something twice (brush teeth/wash face) because I forgot that I just did it 20 minutes ago, or not doing it at all because I was sure that I did. More frequently I'm briefly forgetting what I'm doing at the moment, like I have to think about every action, even with my routine of getting ready for work in AM.

Like someone else said, it comes in waves, sometimes its really bad. I have had some other cognitive issues also, like forgetting train of thought, words, etc.

cheryl - it's not necessary to be on IV abx to treat neurolyme.

Many, many people have healed without - either by doing oral abx or herbals, or a combination of both.

There are oral abx that pass through the blood/brain barrier well...and herbals, as well.

What specifically do poeple recommend for brain inflammation and brain herxing?

You can order Nutramedix Pinella - Brain-Nerve Cleanse.
This can be bought at Amazon and iHerb (as well as the Nutramedix site)

Also - Jernigan's Neuro-Antitox II - CNS/PNS

Pinella vs Uncaria (gou teng) or both?
I still have Pinella but sounds like is more of a detox herb for the brain.

Isn't that what we're talking about?

For me the brain/memory symotoms seem to have gotten much worse since I started abx 6 weeks ago ( before this I did only herbals, LDI, and other things for years w out much success....) so in my case , is it part of herxing? ( meaning the abx is working better than the other stuff did?)
