Just wondering if anyone has these symptoms and if it's probably Lyme or Bartonella...when I first wake up in the morning I can't curl my right pinky finger down without it "catching" as if a tendon is messed up, and my entire left hand is numb/unmovable....then as soon as I wake up and get out of bed within 30 seconds it all goes away/normalizes..

I remember waking up with my left hand in a fist...it would take a few minutes for it to loosen up. Not really the same as yours, but similar.

I think Bart.

That's what's called a trigger finger.

I have that as well, but I don't know what causes it.

It can be surgically corrected; I haven't had the surgery.

If you have Bartonella, you most likely have Lyme as well.

Bumping for other answers.

I have problems with my fingers,too. It started months after I started treating a Lyme.

I wonder if it is Bartonella.
