I noticed that I have to limit my time on my phone surfing the net or I get nauseated. What is that? EBV? LYME? Does anyone else?
I don't understand why? If I try to push through I feel so nauseated and cant concentrate.
Last night it lasted for hours.

For me, I believe it has to do with Bartonella affecting my eyes. I've noticed on the days that I'm more sensitive to light, I also will get nauseous if I try to do a lot of reading online particularly.

I just have to 'go with the flow' on this one and keep treating. If I should happen to read too much, I usually grab a piece of ginger to eat so that I don't end up being nauseated all day long though.

Before I came back positive for bart, I went to an ENT for this and other related vision/dizzy/nauseous problems (scrolling on my phone or computer, changing gaze direction while walking, driving, etc). They did a VNG test in an effort to help me rule out inner ear problems. Well, it did rule out inner ear problems and landed me square with my first definitive diagnosis of something being wrong with my CNS: central vertigo. I started seeing a vertigo therapist, but I stopped when I got my bart diagnosis as I've come to understand I need to beat back the bacteria and not just treat symptoms. Needless to say, some days it makes work and travel challenging as I get nauseous and feel like I'm going to fall down. Or I get tunnel vision. I'm very hopeful it will resolve itself as I treat.

Oh my goodness, thought that was just me but yes its awful. I used to love reading but just can't read a book/kindle anymore as its not a pleasure, its makes me feel worse. If I surf on laptop or pc I feel really nauseous, light headed and just 'odd' and really disorientated. It is getting a lot better though, I work on a pc all day which I couldn't have done a couple of years ago. It makes my eye sockets ache but nothing much more than that these days thank goodness but try not to go on pc to read or even read when not working.

Another think that was really bad was going on escalators. I was like a feeble old lady, I felt I was going to fall right down the escalator, my sense of balance and direction was all over the place. That has also got a lot better this last year. Hopefully you will find it does start to resolve itself as you treat TxBart.
