And on the brain scans it showed that my corpus collosum was what was corrupted. that mid line between right and left brain. before i finally got the proper treatment i was starting to get so ill that i, a writer who used to have highest skills in writing and researchig, could not get past a 7-10 page paper. That was how much info I could hold in my brain at once. So my grad school stalled. This is what it was like: I would have wild insights when my right brain was in action. but because the mid line had lesions, often the left brain was not in action. Or it was vice versa: total ability to write but inability to recall exactly the right brain insights simultaneously. It was crazy. and getting worse. Once I starte the antibiotic and antioxidant treatments, within 6 weeks I was able to healthily put together 110 page master's thesis! As my mid line started to heal immediately apparently :) you are the first to reference this lyme experience that i have read. thank you!! Am still healing. Doc had me on low dose abx for 4 years now, my trying to build up my body after 12 years of undxd. Recently she told me I should move up to 3x what I have been taking. Now found your blog as I am looking into that. I was stunned recently to take just a quarter more last week, and the old fashioned herxheimer came back! (I had not experienced hx since 3 years ago). Thank you for all! -AnneAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707227678087628637noreply@blogger.com
