I have a young niece approximately late 30 s who experienced mild paralysis in her left leg and slow motor speech. No visible facial symmetry issues. MRI did not indicate hemorraghic stroke. Trying to figure out what may have happened to her. There was suggestion that Lyme s disease can create similar symptoms? I thought I had heard that she was on a medication called tamarax 40 mgs. not sure of spelling.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Lymes disease when progresses to chronic stage it usually presents with joint pain, lethargy, generalized weakness, dermatitis and can be depressing to some extent. I suggest you take a healthy diet and start some kind of regular exercise like walking for 40 minutes to elevate your mood and also give you energy. Over the counter painkillers will help for the pain. You can try analgesic patches if the pain gets severe. Try to divert your mind from your symptoms by keeping in touch with friends and family and keeping yourself busy throughout the day. A rheumatologist opinion is necessary to assess the extent of joint damage. Thank You.
