Hi guys, so I suspect I have Bart and maybe, maybe Lyme.

I hit a spot on my forearm last week with my seatbelt by accident in the car. Ever since then, a buzzing sensation appears in that spot for a couple seconds. It comes and goes but is more frequent when I use that arm. Is this mild nerve damage that Bart-induced vascular/inflammation issues made worse? Has something like this ever happened to anyone with Bart?

I don't think I got the buzzing from an injury but I definitely had buzzing. It was like I swallowed a pager and it was in my intestines. Drove me battier than I normally am. Very annoying but with treatment it went away. *Quickly knocks on wood*

When Lyme and Bart combine, it's quite common for the person to experience more neuro symptoms and for some they become quite severe.

We also know that Lyme loves old injury sites. Many people have old injuries that had quit hurting some time ago, suddenly start causing issues again.

I use to always grimace when I would do something like hitting myself with a seat belt - not because it would cause that much pain in the moment, but thinking forward to what it could set off was the more unpleasant thought. eyes

When I was a teenager I got knocked off my push bike on the way to a hockey match. I made it half the way through the game before realising my wrists weren't quite right, and it turned out I had fractured them. The healed fine and I have never experienced any problems. My 'buzzing' sensation started out in my wrists and forearms and was one of my earliest symptoms. It was accompanied later by very severe shooting pains in the same area.

Both those symptoms went away for a long while, but have quite recently started up again (I think I am returning now to the origional layer of infection, hence my earliest symptoms reoccuring?). I know that these infections like to seek out a 'weak spot' so I guess that may be why old injury sites are good targets?? Would that make 'new' injury sites easier to go after too?? Like attack 'em while they are down...

I have Lyme and Bart, so I couldn't say for certain which of those it is that causes that for me.
