Not official tests, but one of my tests. I can maintain pretty good without many adverse reactions except I don't sleep as long as I'd like to. My latest test on myself was to decrease dietary fat intake. This was a disaster. It just so happens that when I decrease my fat intake, my arginine intake drops as well. This just compounds my disaster. For about 36 hours, I was as mad and filled with rage as anyone you have ever seen. I didn't care about anything and it didn't seem like anything could make me not be mad. I was acting like an idiot. Everything seems to be alright now. If any of you ever get like that, think of decreased arginine levels and/or a decreased serotonin level.

So how do you know these aren't just typical cycling of Lyme symptoms? Your description is how I describe my episodes of Lyme rage. My husband, who is 14 inches taller than me and easily weighs 75 - 100 lbs more than I do says it was like I turned into the Hulk. I flipped him while he was sitting in his recliner one day. That's when I realized I couldn't control the anger, but I could control where I was, and never allowed myself to be around any person or animal when I felt it coming over me.

Because I don't have these symptoms normally. I had predicted maybe a depression, but the rage was unexpected. Severe drops in serotonin is what causes that. I can explain it biochemically so I feel good about what happened. I can prevent it or induce it.

I should have collected urine volume and fluid intake to see if ADH was involved. I'll do that next time.
