    Please please keep the research going. Keep reporting your findings and recommendations. So many of us have sick kids and my son's issues are almost all neuro/psych. He is 16 and been suffering most of his life. He has PANS and Lyme, Bartonella, Mycoplasma and more. I am so thankful that some great doctors are recognizing that these psych/neuro issues are real and so many people are suffering.

    This describes the march of symptoms that led me into 20 years of psych treatment for (a-typical with trauma history) bipolar illness.
    After 14 months I tapered off antidepressants, antipsychotics, and benzodiazepines. Then I found the Lyme, Babesia, and Bartinella and began to explore treatment options. Out of the psych wards into the Lyme wars- it has been a l o n g road.

      @@lydialewallen3412 I finally found something that appears to be working for the Lyme. It is called Wave 1 by Fremedica. It is famous from being the one thing that finally more or less cured Yolanda Hadid. It is a device you where for 1.5 hours daily, and it sends specific frequencies via light into your body. And it is a free trial for 6 months, so nothing to lose really by trying.

    My 36 year old son has had mental problems since he was 7 and had a severe case of meningitis. It affected his nervous system and his personality. He became depressed, fearful, and impulsive, among other things. He turned to alcohol and any benzodiazepines he could get while in high school, then he had several TBIs from sports, and a severe one from a calm down the stairs which caused subarachnoid hemorrhaging. It took a year to heal just physically.
    This was 9 years ago, and within the past few years, he’s been living with his father, and the home had water damage that wasn’t fixed. It got worse and worse and my son was in the worst room tested.
    He’s been living in my home for 19 months, and I was under the impression that his father was getting his house remediated, and he was coming here every morning and night to see our son, but he wasn’t doing anything, and waited so long he had to have it tested again. Now he’s living here as well. How dysfunctional!!!
    He got a bad case of mold poisoning, which allowed two kinds of Bartonella and Babesia to manifest. Then he got Covid even though he had the vaccine, which was bad enough to get when he had a Lyme coinfection. He’s had horrible symptoms since January and it’s more than 3 months later! His head is full of pressure, he has sweats, no desire for personal hygiene, and his limbs are numb and cold. He’s been through hell! (And so have I!)
    He’s been through psychosis, has severe paranoia, hates the city and thinks my house and street are scary. They aren’t.
    I’m so frightened because he has taken a turn for the worst, and is about to burst at the seams! He’s yelling and screaming that he’s trapped and we are holding him hostage. He has EXTREME rage right now, and I’m afraid he will try to commit suicide and has tried in the past, which is why he stayed here so I could keep him company a year and a half ago. I think if he had a gun, he would do it.
    I’m desperately trying
    to find a place for him to go and get out of here ASAP!
    Everything you have said is right!

      A sad story but one I can relate to as the son. I am still struggling but I managed to fight off a big part of this disease. You need to get your son on a lyme herb program ASAP (Buhner, Crowder, Dr. Berg). Look into Spooky Rife as well. It will not be easy but I believe symptoms can greatly improved. If there would be one suggestion to make is to follow Dr. Berg's ketosis program. It will starve the bacteria as they thrive on bad fuel like sugars. He will have to fight for it. Let him know that most of his physiatric symptoms are due to his disease. Again, He CAN get better but he will have to be open for treatment. Start small with some of the Herbal programs. Love to you and your family,
      ps. Here are some more tips:
      - Cistus Incanus Tea, boiled twice for 5 minutes, leave the lid on top when it cools. On the second boil add SteviaLeaf extract powder (1tbsp). Start slow within toleration of the tea. This tea is a gift from nature, most healthy tea in the world and specifically useful to help with neuro issues.
      - Fasting. Like previously mentioned fasting starves bad inhabitants in your body. Most of our modern food are toxic.
      - Cook for him healthy food. Chicken soups/broths made of bones etc. NO sugars (!). It really is a drug thats most difficult to get rid off.

      Hi there. I’ve had all these symptoms and I’m diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. Try seeing a functional doctor. I had MRIs done and spend 1000s of dollars on testing and seeing conventional doctors but I’ve been seeing this functional doc for almost 6 months now and I can’t feel any better. I’m so lucky I found the treatment for lyme. It has disrupted my entire life and I had really bad neurological problems, so bad that everything would trigger me. I had really really bad inflammation in my body and because of that inflammation, I had depression and bad mental health. Ask him to see a functional doctor and tel the doc that he has Lyme. They will give him herbal medicines and believe me within a few days he will be a new person (if he has Lyme). I’m speaking from my personal experience. I won’t tell you what medicines I’m taking right now because I’m not a doc so please see a functional doc near you and get all tests done (basic blood work, Lyme testing and other microbial testing). I wish him good health.

    Has there been a study regarding how chronic Lyme disease affects the likelihood of developing mild cognitive impairment or dementia as people age?

    Even a simple yeast infection will trigger pains back or fybro pains when I take antibiotics I feel good but then I have to take care vagina at the same time . And I'm in menapaus so it's harder cause I always get UTI s .

      I keep getting sick from the antibiotics, and because I don’t have a gallbladder, I’m not going to the bathroom regularly. I was o antibiotics for 2 months, and I had to stop because of my stomach.

    It’s all about the money. If Lyme disease is a real illness. Ask yourself why is the testing not better more full poof. Why, because there is just too much money, in treatment.
