Not sure what is happening to me

Hey Everyone,

Just checking in to see if any of you have experience this.

My second toe is still twitching intermittently. It twitches when I am at rest. It has been going on for a week. I went to the chiropractor who said my metatarsal has dropped and she thought that was the reason why it was twitching, but that was Friday and still is has not stopped.

The other thing that has happened is in the past few days I am increasingly week in my arms and legs, but it feels like I have the flu. I started all three antibiotics this past week. Did any of you have that reaction?
I was totally fine strength wise a week ago.

I am having panic attacks daily still over ALS fears. I know at 34 and with a Lyme diagnosis that it's unlikely for me to have it. My fears are taking over my life and now my body is aching all over.

This sure sounds like a herx to me also.

Here is a the site for detoxing and that is the only helper I know for herxing.

I had "disco finger" for a while....at night only, I'd be laying in bed and it was dancing all over the place. Just one finger, that's all...just one, in time to Saturday Night Fever. I don't know why but eventually it stopped and has not returned. The first time it happened it woke me up from a sound sleep and I thought it was my dog's tail wagging until I realized it was attached to my hand! Whoa! Weird!

Yes, the weakness and muscle fatigue hit me hard too. I was barely able to move - I felt like I was dragging 3 dead bodies around with me. With treatment that has gotten better too. I still have bad days, but more good than bad.

My main attacker has always been Bartonella - is that what you're treating for? All kinds of wacky ticks and twitches come with this one. I also got hit pretty hard with anxiety and life changing depression that would just come over me suddenly that I called the "cloak of darkness"....it would stay for a few hours or half a day and then life just as suddenly. That has also gotten WAY better with treatment. During those times I would just tell myself that it was the Lyme, not me, making me feel that way and that it would get better...and it did. It helped me through those periods to removed the feelings from myself and think of them like a bad smell that would eventually go away.

I do a foot soak in a 5 gallon bucket of water with hydrogen peroxide and epsome salts and will add a drop or two of peppermint oil. I believe that does help my twitches and ticks - maybe try that and see what kind of results you get? Because of the peppermint oil, I always feel invigorated afterwards, so don't do it at bedtime :)

Good luck in getting your disco toe to calm down.

Queen frost ..the bugs are hitting the nerves ..lack of magnesium or both...you are fighting for your life ...als is just a description of whats happening ..i am losing muscle from motor nueron death...every morning my circulation and stamina decrease ....keep trying ..the fear feeds it and does nothing ..i thought a yr ago i was dying...i very wellay be but i am not going with out a fight ...i found bartonella and toxo like parasite at root with borreliosis btw... asulfa drug chased bugs 1 yr ago into recesses of nerves and brain .use all modalities ...you are mag deficient, b vits and likely iron...abx destroy nutrient absorption it is a real catch 22

I can tell you that Lyme will totally mimic ALS. I know of someone who has speech and swallowing issues from an untreated bulls eye rash 2 years ago. It took 18 months after the bite to present with these symptoms.

Hopefully, in a week or so this will be a thing of the past for you.
