2012 Study of chronic Lyme compared to chronic Syphilis that I used to convince my doctors to prescribe Bicillin L-A (generic name: penicillin G benzathine)

I know I've linked this study in comments but I don't believe I posted it directly. I won't go in to all the details of my journey here. I've done plenty of write ups tho so if you search my posts you can get the full story.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3551238/

My journey with chronic Neuro Lyme ended after taking this medicine and I 100 percent believe that all of us would be better with the right antibiotics and no gatekeeping of such. Feel free to ask questions. I'm not on here often but if you DM me I will get a notification and try to answer as best I can.

Long term Lyme success stories

I’m hoping to hear some success stories from people who have had long term Lyme. I’ve had it for over ten years and am concerned it’s too late to treat. My symptoms include brain fog, fatigue, numbness in hands and feet, burning mouth, lots of hair loss, neck pain and arthritis, jaw popping, anxiety, depression, etc. would appreciate any response.

Tremors

Im having tremors that seem to be progressing. Like when I go up the stairs my muscles work as the should but going down I can feel slight tremor in my legs. The worst right now is in my face and index fingers. If I hold a smile for more than a second my whole cheek is trembling. When I’m using a mouse my finger trembles. If I do anything strenuous and say my arm is fatigued I feel tremors when I use it again.

Anyone experience this?
I’m treating the 3bs right now with antibiotics and herbs. Kind of scared these diseases have triggered something like CIPD.

My current symptoms general malaise, numbness and visual snow but nothing that screams bart babs or Lyme. My Bart titters are still sky high. My dr said that should improve but even when I’m feeling well the tremors remain and just seem to be getting slightly worse.

Could it be Lyme disease?

Age: 22yo

Gender : female

Weight: 57kg

Height: 171cm

Country : Morocco

Smoking status: non smoker

Medications : non

Was never operated

Day 1 : I don't know when I was stung or by what exactly, i only noticed it because it was hurting a little bit.

The skin reaction was small and barely noticeable and didn't have much colour compared to day 6.

Day 2 : the skin reaction is kinda itchy and I started developing a sore throat

Day 3 : skin reaction is less itchy but more visible, my throat got more sore, coughing, some sneezing, but no trouble breathing, I was extremely tired and had mild fever, took paracetamol and fever got better.

Day 4 : skin reaction is more visible, no more fatigue, but throat is still sore.

Day 5 : skin reaction has now a 4cm diameter, its colour is more visible, feels softer compared to other skin and it's temperature is slightly higher than the rest of the body. Throat is still sore.

Day 6 : (see pic) , skin reaction is more visible, and a small streak appeared next to it. Sore throat got better.

I don't know if the sting and the flu like symptoms ( sore throat, mild fever, coughing, no clogged nose) are related to each other or not.

My throat is almost healed, and i don't have any other symptoms besides this skin reaction and I'm afraid it could be lyme disease or some serious bacterial infection.

Please tell me what do you think .

Edit : the skin reaction doubled in size the last 3 days
