Hi ,

Way back about 2 years ago, I was a regular on an online support

group - the wife of one of the participants had grand mal seizures

during herxing. My guess would be that what you're experiencing

could well be a mild form of a seizure.

Interestingly, you also mentioned panic attacks. It's interesting

because Ativan is sometimes used to treat panic attacks AND some mild

forms of seizures!

I've been taking Ativan since 1986 and it's kept my panic attacks

under control. What I find interesting is that all of my panic

attacks began with a very light-headed, disconnected sensation, very

similar to what one would feel prior to losing consiciousness. It

kinda makes me wonder if there's some correlation between seizures

and some forms of panic attacks.

Since the beginning of this Flagyl herx, I've had a symptom return

that I hadn't had in months - the best way I can describe it is that

it feels like my head is pulsating - very much like the sensation I

would get prior to a panic attack. It's a fleeting sensation but

can occur many times throughout the day.

Anyway...I " think " the point I was trying to make is that it seems

to me that there is a possibility that these neuro symptoms are seldom

present for me except during a herx - once again, possibly caused, or

at least worsened, by the toxins of dying spirochetes.

Again, just some thoughts from a foggy lyme brain. <g>

Hugs,

Patty
