This is my first posting to this site. I think I have lyme although my elisa and western blots (quest not Igenex) come back negative. My gp is willing to entertain my suspicion of lyme so I did one month of Doxycycline 200 mg/day which helped with some symtpoms, but left my nervous system feeling-fragmented, is the best word to describe it and I started having horrible panic attacks which I have never had before. 5 days into the doxy I had this episode just after I dozed off where I woke up feeling panicky and nauseted and then had these leg spasms that came in waves like contractions. This lasted for about 2 hours.
After one month on the doxy I asked my gp to switch me to Ceftin since I read that Ceftin does a better job of crossing the blood/brain barrier and is bacteriocidal instead of bacteriostatic. Since on the Ceftin more things seem to be improving, but these episodes have gotten worse. They are always in the middle of the night so I think it has something to do with sleep. I did not have any of these episodes for one month and since starting Ceftin I have had 5. I am hoping they mean that the abx are working, but am not sure.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
