Lyme disease: root of my depression?

Posted by former poster on October 28, 2013, at 15:38:27

Is it possible that my depression and anxiety are the result of undiagnosed Lyme disease? My cognitive decline has made it difficult to find the many posts I have seen on Babble over the years on this subject. After Googling all day for the symptoms of Lyme the consensus seems to be that I have "chronic Lyme disease".
Having these symptoms:

Depression
Anxiety, panic attacks(derealisation, social anxiety,)
Chronic fatigue
Severe chronic pain mostly in the knees.
Memory problems
Attention problems
tinnitus
hearing loss
vision problems, some loss
tremor
numbness
tingling

I was bitten by a deer tick in the 1990's, got a red spot (no bullseye). Got the 3 week doxycycline treatment

For years, I have been feeling twitchy, clumsy.. I stumble and fall often. I have seen GP for these symptoms alone. Have been tested for Lyme, resulting negative.

Phillipa.. As I recall you are a retired nurse with Lyme disease. What do you think of this video:

My feet look *exactly* like the ones in the video.

Coincidentally, my left foot is more severely infected and left knee more severely damaged meniscus. Is there a connection?

Are the tests for Lyme / chronic Lyme disease more accurate now? Should I get tested again?
