Default need support for chronic lyme changes

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.

Hi Aquarelle!

Welcome to NeuroTalk! Sorry to hear about your struggles with Lyme but you've found the right place. Here's the link to the forum for Lyme http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum91.html.
