I think that we are touching on an important subject here. That Lyme indeed can effect the Central Nervous System. It can be a brain disease. It can change the whole makeup of what we are physically and be both devastating and debilitating. I never thought about the day after the horrid ER visit the NEXT day how my right knee swelled as well as the bullseye rash I had for two weeks. It was criminal that I was sent home to languish because of ignorant hospital staff. I did also have the peripheral neuropathy (severe swelling of the hands and feet) the day of the ER visit. I also had the joint pain which felt like an icepick in the center of my joint which radiated out from the center and it would move from joint to joint. I still have the neck pain they talk about in some of these articles. Sadly I also have Babesoisis the scary co-infection as well. So I really think it is relevant this subject I am bringing up. It hits home with me. I wonder how many others have had these symptoms too?
