By the way, if you are still having neuropathy after treating Lyme, it's probably Bartonella. Bartonella is the one most often associated with neuropathy.

For everyone else on the forum - you don't have to have a tick bite to get Bartonella. You can get it from a cat scratch too. The testing is really poor for Bartonella as there are a lot of different strains and they only test for one. So you could have a different strain and it won't show up on the test.

Yes, I've considered, but I've had a full-blown neurological work-up by a very well-respected head of neurology at another Baltimore hospital. When I considered getting a second opinion from Hopkins, I found this when looking into it. Given that I fall into this category, I opted not undergo more drama at that time.

Johns Hopkins Neurology and Neuromedicine: Small Fiber Sensory Neuropathy

"A small percentage of patients with SFSN experience sub-acute onset sensory disturbances diffusely over the whole body, including the trunk and sometimes even the face. These patients have non-length-dependent SFSN and almost all cases are idiopathic."

"sub-acute"... would be great news, right, as it would mean it would go away and not be chronic ?

For IV antibiotics, I did 4 weeks of Invanz and just started Rocephin last week. I'm not going to stop treating until my iSPOT says I have ZERO LYME! Then after that, either my nerve damage gets better or it doesn't.

I've been corresponding with Lyme patients who have substantial full body nerve damage, and some have recovered entirely by getting IVIG and using HBOT. I even corresponded with a person who healed just using HBOT. So I'm going to have my LLMD team test all my subclasses on the off chance that I could get IVIG. Then I'm going to look into getting a home mild HBOT unit after my treatment is complete.
Have you tried HBOT yet? If so, what were your results?
