Lyme disease and TN

I have been recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease and Bartonella which is a common co-infection (also tick borne). I mostly likely have had Lyme for years My doctor thinks the Lyme is the cause of my TN. Anyone else with TN and Lyme? Treating the Lyme could reduce my symptoms but not take it away completely if the Lyme caused nerve damage, which is what she thinks has happened. I am kind of glad to know the possible origin of my TN. Until now, no one has been able to figure out why I have it, ( no nerve compression)

Thanks!

Hi Karen,

I know that there are patients with TN and lyme disease. If you go to the black header bar at the top of the page and click on discussions. it will bring up a search box, Type in lyme disease and it will pull up lots of discussions on it. Good luck,

Scott

Thanks, Scott, I will do that!
