I have had these on and off for years, usually just at a nuisance level. Lately it has been getting worse, almost continous and more severe. I was negative on all lyme testing but a LLMD diagnosed me with lyme back in December. Are these common symptoms of most lyme victims. This along with day to day flares of neck and back pain, all muscles seems to tighten up at once.

Out of curiosity, do other members of this board experience similar symptoms.

    Those can be symptoms of Lyme. Absolutely. With that said, LLMD's never report back that you don't have Lyme. You go into an LLMD's office you're leaving with a Lyme diagnosis.

    I was diagnosed with Lyme disease 2 years ago, did over 6 months of Doxy and Azithro......I get flare ups when my immune system is low....numbness and tingling is a classic sign to the point I can't use one arm or hand because it gets so bad......then I go back on the Doxy and it's better again. But I have numb spots on the side of my feet near my ankles and when on Doxy this never seems to recover. So, I would say that your symptoms of numbness are a sign of your Lyme being active.
