    Sometimes I stand up suddenly and feel really dizzy like I'm about to fall down. Sometimes I have to hold onto the table. Sometimes I just fall to my knees for a few seconds.
    It doesn't happen very often.

    That low blood pressure or am I just sitting in one position too long?

    Just sitting in one position too long. I have high bood pressure, and I get that.

    I hope not, or science has failed. :P

    It is actually one of the (many) neurological symptoms related to chronic Lyme.

    I had it all the fucking time before I got treated, but now not so much.

    My mother still insists she's psychic, but I just think it's the bacteria eating her brain.

    I thought the deja vu feeling was because you weren't creating solid memories or connecting to the memories you had so you'd remember something you just saw and think you had previously seen it?

    There is a lot of contention in the medical community over whether chronic lyme disease even exists. I don't have enough knowledge of the pathogenesis to even make an educated decision. The hope is that diagnostics will get good enough to detect the long-term disease and eventually develop a vaccine.

    The one infectious disease guy I saw who swore up and down that Lyme (not just chronic Lyme) was largely a myth insisted that my mother and I were just "disturbed."

    This despite my Western Blot that was "equivocal but really fucking close" and my mother's that was "HOLY FUCKING SHIT HOW ARE YOU NOT DEAD YET?!?!?"

    I've probable picked 30 or so ticks off of me during my lifetime, because I'm not an outside kid. My mother has probably had several hundred.

    It's prolly related to dehydration since dexies and coffee do that and at the same time dexies suppress appetite/thirst.

    No, we had pretty much every (meaningful) test from the best labs in the country.

    The other clear-as-fuck sign that we had it were the horrible, violent reactions to the antibiotics we were put on that got better over time.

    There is a small but growing faction in the medical community who believes the government and CDC have had a role in ignoring/actively impeding research into Lyme because they actually had their hand in developing it as a bioweapon a long time ago. Apparently there's a small island community near Long Island with like a 90%+ infection rate that used to be home to a government medical research lab. My mother was born/grew up on Long Island.
