And I need to point out it's called Lyme not Lymes (sorry but someone else will point that out to you no doubt).

If I do have Lyme then it's in the last stages. Whatever infected me was over 9 yrs ago.My cognitive function went to H*** in the beginning! It has improved,however I still find I make alot of mistakes that I'm not even aware of. I couldn't remember how to spell the simple words for awhile,i.e. the,it. How's that for brain dead? Didn't know how to turn my computer on! Would get in the shower & forget which was hot or cold water,forget to wash my hair & have to start all over. Gave my maiden name as my last name (hadn't been for over 30 yrs). Mixed my phone number up with my parent's number. When driving I thought red lights were green & vice versa. Had no clue which way to go when left the driveway.Went an entire year thinking I was a year older than I was.Messed up my taxes,my checkbook,etc.Had no idea how to make simple dishes I'd cooked for years. Would see someone I knew & have no idea what their name was. Talking to anyone was hard,I'd mess up my words,forget what I was trying to say.

I got in the habit of writing everything down. Then checking it at least 3 times to make sure I understood. I learned to ignore the phone when it rang.

The computer saved my sanity. Just knowing other people went through these bizarre incidents helped me.

You didn't mention how long you've had Lyme or what treatment methods you have tried.....hopefully you will get more replies here. I'd personally be willing to try anything to get better.Unfortunately I've gone through all my savings & now just try to get by......good luck to you!
