POTS/autonomic dysfunction and lyme

Hello people. I am very ill with bouts of severe malaise, sudden feeling of unwellness that comes and goes
MY llmd tells me that my autonomic nervous system is not working normally. HE thinks the hypothalamus which directs the balance between the sympathic( fight and flight) and the parasympatic (calm and relaxing) is not working as it should leaving me with anxiety and malaise attacks.He thinks the dysfunction is directly caused by lyme bacteria in this area of the brain . He claims that antibiotic treatment could reverse the situation back to normal functioning of the autonomous nervous system(ANS).other abnormalities of the ANS include POTS that isfainting and not been able stay upright,inability to sweat or the opposite more sweating than before, heat intolerance.
DEAR LYMIES i would like to know once you have been treated for lyme with abx or herbs did you see improvements in your POTS/ ANS symptoms, did the pots and other ANS abnormalities diminish or dissappear totally
IN other words did yr antibiotics and or herb therapy give an improvement or resolutin of yr POTS/ ANS problems
THX jACK

jackdg - I have some pots/ANS symptoms too.

Here are symptoms I have or had since lyme: (some may not be ANS/pots, not sure)

shivers/hot flashes and sweats
temperature dysregulation (maybe why I have shivers and sweats) - I can feel cold when it's warm, and warm when it's cold (but my temperature doesn't fluctuate much)
feel light-headed when I stand up.
Standing up and have a pulsing in my head.
easily overwhelmed.
off balance
anxiety ( never thought this was ANS related - but definitely from brain infection)

My anxiety is almost gone - I get it a bit in the morning when I first wake up - a doom and gloom feeling and then I have a hot flash and sweat. This started to go away before treatment and continued to improve after starting antibiotics.
My balance issues are almost gone...that improved a few months after starting antibiotics.
Feeling light headed when standing - most days it's gone - after several months of antibiotics.
Not easily overwhelmed anymore - that went before treatment started...but I had stopped working at my stressful job, so I think that helped.

Yes, to what Trav said - it will only get worse without treatment.
You may have periods of time that it isn't as bad...but it will come back with a vengeance. Lyme can do that...symptoms can lessen, new ones come, then symptoms flare...etc.
