So im noticing more and more wierd symptoms. For one, sugar and caffeine causes a burning scalp that almost feels as if acid is poured onto my scalp along with itching. But I had drank beer, which i have not in quite some time. I am aware i have a sensitivity to wheat but typically i just get a little bit of a puffy face the day after. Not this time, i had 2 beers and my hands went completly numb with the feelings of pins and needles. Typically this goes away but it lasted from 4 pm and did not go away until i woke up the next morning. Completly freaked me out. Anyone else get extreme sensitivites to alcohol, I have never had a problem before till this issue arose

    Yes I do, haven't had the burning scalp sensation but when I drink I definitely regret it. I get facial numbness and extreme fatigue,brain fog, dizziness  and weakness. I know it's not the same as your symptoms but apparently alcohol and lymes do not mix. Sucks cause a beer every now and then is sometimes needed

      well we were outside as well so i considered that to play a factor as well. Do you have heat intolerance as well?  Regardless of drinking, If im outside in general in high heat i get the numb face body tingles along with almost like a loss of coordination/ balance. Do you have any of this as well?
