Default Obviously--

--you need a Lyme literate physician.

I know you are thinking about a sensory variant of Guillain Barre, and there are such variants, often grouped under the rubric of acute onset small fiber neuropathy, with suspected immune-mediated mechanisms (as I responded to you in the other thread):

Acute small fibre sensory neuropathy: another variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome? -- Seneviratne and Gunasekera 72 (4): 54
-- Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry


Pain Differential Diagnosis

GBS

But this sounds like a result of your Lyme infection, and/or a coninfection (often with Lyme other nerve affecting bacteria are transmitted at the same time, and these can be difficult to isolate).

Chronic Lyme has many bad effects, and neuropathy and neurologic problems are prominent among them. This does sound like more an effect of the Lyme infection than a separate acute onset small fiber issue.
