Can anyone relate to this? I have felt like this before but not for ages. I went to the supermarket and for about 10-15 seconds my head felt dizzy and i felt awful like i was going to faint. I stood still until it passed. It's scary at the time but then i just forget about it until it happens again.

    Have you been diagnosed with Lyme Disease? I used to feel light headed and faint when I had LD and was on Doxycycline. It did pass though.

      Hi Kelly,

      I was diagnosed about 4-5 months after the tick bite and was put on 28 day course of Doxycycline. After a month on antibiotics I was pretty much pain free but still felt tired and had memory issues. It took a full year to feel back to normal. I supported my recovery with good diet, moderate exercise and also brain training/memory exercises that I found online. It helped me.
