Hi everyone,
Would anyone know if Lyme Disease might lead to psychological/psychiatric problems?
About 11 years ago I got bitten by an infectious tick. It lead to a big red blotch on my leg so my Dr. gave me antibiotics. However, soon after my eyes turned extremely dry (very painful), I couldn't stand contact lenses anymore, I developped extremely dry mouth with loads of canker sores and ulcers and also got severe pain in my knees and lower back. I got tested again for Lyme's, but it turned out negative. Still I wasn't feeling well.
Besides my usual depression, now I also started to develop an anxiety syndrome and severe insomnia. This got so bad I had to be treated with strong sedatives... Four years later I was diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome (auto-immune disease) and hypothyroidism (not auto-immune)... Coïncidence or just bad luck? I really don't know.
But I do wonder if anyone else has suffered (more) psychological troubles after contracting Lyme Disease...
All input is welcome!
Best wishes,
Maria

Hi Maria,
I've moved this thread to PB Health. I see that as a more appropriate board to discuss this topic. Here's a link:
