Hi, I am hoping this forum can give me something I need very much: support in dealing with neurological or psychological changes from chronic Lyme. I probably was bitten about 15+ years ago in northern California, but my symptoms only became obvious to me, 7 years later, when I also entered menopause.
Mostly the impacts then were hormone imbalances and cognitive and mood problems. I was diagnosed by a Lyme-savvy MD who uses an integrative approach. Over the past five years--under her care part of that time--I have had a lot of recovery from the cognitive problems and fatigue. But now other emotional and social difficulties are taking their place. Understanding them (or recognizing them really) has become a big challenge.
I hope to post more in detail as time goes by and I feel more comfortable sharing my difficulties.
