brake Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Just wondering if anyone of you survived Lyme and HPPD simultaneously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycall81 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've been wondering about that. My headaches are continuing to worsen, as are my visuals. 6 months in. My doc suggested I get tested for all the tick illnesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brake Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 The tick that bit me has been tested positive for Lyme and negative for the other bacteria. I have no symptoms of Lyme yet but the anxiety of possibly having Lyme and ending up with a bad case of it has increased my visuals. I took the recommended (by the CDC) preventative dose of 200 mg of doxycycline within 72 hours of the bite. Now I'm eating a lot of raw local and raw manuka honey since they are natural antibiotics. I'm going to get tested for Lyme in a week or 2 since it takes time for your body to create antibodies to it which will show up on the test. Mycall81 if you do end up testing positive for Lyme I recommend you stay away from tetracyclines and try other types of antibiotics first since they increased my visuals and other members as well.

cosmiccharlie Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 This is an old post but yes, I have had Lyme and currently have HPPD. I suspect I still have Lyme as well from what I have heard about the condition being long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
