Dawn 7/8/2014 10:03:32 AM | I have been reading much information on Lyme disease and thought I would share a great site for all of you. It has a massive amount of info...one can not take it all in, in one sitting. Here is are excerpts that I found that fit many of us here. The site is maintained by the esteemed Joseph G. Jemsek MD. He has many years of experience of treating Lyme. It's sad that there are so few MDs treating Lyme and recognizing it. Possibly the most common cranial neuropathic symptoms we detect are reports of a sensation of sharp or radicular facial pain, twitching of the facial muscles, or dysesthesias described as either numbness or itching "like something crawling all over my face". Obviously, these symptoms reflect inflammation of the 5th nerve. We always query our patients about these symptoms since many patients will fail to volunteer these complaints. They sheepishly state that the symptoms are so bizarre that no one believes them and so, out of embarrassment, they no longer discuss this issue. We believe that these cranial neuropathies, as well as other associated symptoms such as tremor, assorted tics and regional dysesthesias of the torso or extremities, are more common than realized in persistent Bb infection and reflect a generalized polyneuropathathic syndrome. Hence, we feel this supports our preference to refer to persistent LD as neuroborreliosis. Interestingly, prolonged antibiotic therapy in this population often creates a flare of the neurological symptoms, akin to the dermal "Herxheimer" phenomenon mentioned previously. This can be highly unpleasant and the patient will require a great deal of reassurance and encouragement, as well as providing symptomatic relief with the therapies just mentioned. LD sufferers may present with a myriad of symptoms, which reflect disseminated infection and the affinity of Bb for certain tissue types, notably the brain and peripheral nervous system, joint space and dermal tissues. In the textbook definition, acute illness is followed in some cases by early dissemination, which is sometimes characterized by peripheral neuropathies (mononeuritis multiplex), or cranial neuropathies (e.g. Bell's palsy). Depending on the nerve involved, the patient may complain of primarily sensory (i.e. burning, shooting pain or numbness) or motor symptoms (weakness, fatigue, tremor, etc). In persistent cases of LD, or neuroborreliosis, the neurological symptoms may wax and wane or even disappear, with or without therapy.

Peter 7/11/2014 1:25:32 AM | Hello Dawn Well done! Good research allows us to better navigate the more complicated questions. In this case, you have further confirmed what I have long suspected. That there is a strong possibility that Borrelia infection is a likely candidate in Morgellons. Thank you and God bless. Always, Peter |
