Quahog, first off you just might be feeling like chopped liver indeed! I suspect I also have Lyme but my local test was negative & after 8 years of doctors,testing,etc. I've decided to just concentrate on doing whatever I can to improve.

What has helped me: B12!! If I only took one pill it would be B12 Methylcobalamin. I'm serious about this. My brain function was sooo bad at one point I couldn't even remember how to turn on my computer! I've also had times when I had to use a walker to get around.

This is YOUR thread so not going to go into my story here,just wanted you to feel welcome & hope you will come back with more of your story!

Take care & good luck,Buttons

Lilith: I recently saw your comment regarding Lyme and Poison Ivy. I removed a Tick from me recently which had been attached for <12 hours. Combined with a course of antibiotics, I believe my chances of contracting Lyme are low. That said, this occured at a time when I had poison ivy and coincides with states of dizziness. Can you describe to me any more of the symptoms associated with the combined Lyme and Poison Ivy event you refer to above? What, if anything did you find helpful in determining the underlying disease(s) and what treatments did you find helpful, if any? Thank you for your help. Queequeg

Hi there Queequeg ..... welcome to neuroTalk.

I'm not sure if you noticed the date on the post that you're replying to, but it 11-19-2006 and because this is such an old thread, some of the members in this discussion might no longer post to the forum.

I hope you do get a reply though, and maybe your post will be just what was needed to bring them back.

Welcome again, I hope you get the answers that you seek.
