I'm beginning to have weird symptoms:

-tingling in my scalp (as though part of my scalp has fallen asleep),
-motion sickness(?) while walking and driving (it's like I'm not connected to the ground) I almost feel like I'm swaying or floating or losing balance but I *think* I appear to be walking straight
-problems recalling memories/sequence of events/time. It's such a slow process trying to first figure out the present date and then trying to recall past events. The other day, I couldn't recall whether April 2016 happened yet. I'm trying to remember when some of my symptoms started and where I was living at the time, but it's all a chronological blur. And meeting someone new? Forget that! I don't seem to be able to retain memory of meeting someone (not good when working in the hospitality industry).

I am seeing a LLMD next week.....it's going to be a long week!

Tingling on my scalp was my first ever symptom. It scared me so much. I do also feel motion sickness sometimes while walking, and I also notice when I have that my head pressure is present.

Sometimes I have trouble recalling things, but more so processing things...the other day it took me a minute to figure out how to add a new contact to my cell phone...

I got tingling on my scalp after I started treatment.

Then it went away...and it comes back for a few days now and then.

Hi pmm73!-

I have had the tingling, numbness, and pressure in my head.

Loss of balance.... yep! I looked like I was drunk. I also had uncontrollably shakey legs, and hard time walking around.

Poor memory.... yep! Last summer, I had a "Dementia" herx. I didn't know if I was married to my husband, if I lived in my house, didn't recognize myself in my wedding photo. A lot of tears on that day!!

Another time, I couldn't remember my husband's name. We have been married for 10 years.

My daily"Alzheimer's" symptoms are also fantastic. I will take the dog outside to go potty. 15 minutes later, I will look at him and not remember if I took him outside. So, we get to go outside again.

I have had multiple times when I tell my husband something, and he will politely say "you have already told me that, you just asked that same question 20 minutes ago".

I am 38 years old!, But feel like I am over 100 years old!

I hope that your appointment with your LLMD goes well, and make sure to tell them about all of your new symptoms! Please keep us updated!

Also, are you doing anything for detoxing????

Best Wishes!

Thanks everyone....this forum has been so helpful! At times, I'm not sure if I should go through with more dr visits; I'm convinced it's all in my head. I got the results from my lab but my rheumatologist still has not called me back. His office said, "I'm sure if it was urgent, you would have heard from him." I don't even know what that is supposed to mean lol. Needless to say, I'm going to a LLMD next week.

I haven't started any protocols yet except for cutting out sugar, gluten, and alcohol. I figured that was the easiest way to start before adding any herbs, etc.

And Little Bear....I know what you mean! I always walk my dog on a leash, but sometimes I'll get to work and think "Did I bring him back into the house?" Sometimes, I'm not even sure if I took him out at all! I have almost no recollection of all of the "routine" things. Did I shower today? Did I take my medication? I have to really think about it!

Hi pmm73!-

Yes, I get that also. I will shower, and when I am done , I am not sure if I even used soap!

I have had times when I would forget to shave one of my legs.

I also forget if I have brushed my teeth!

There are times that I can't trust myself with using the oven. Because I don't want to forget to take the food out or to remember to turn it off.

Please look into detoxing!!! A lot of people here including myself have to detox daily and use multiple ways. There are a lot of great suggestions in the "New to Lyme?...Start Here!" thread at the top of this forum.

Best Wishes!

Hi, pmm73.

Taking ginger every day got rid of my motion sickness. I only had it in the car. Hopefully, ginger could help you, too.
