I’m brand new to your blog, but I wanted to chime in. You are a wonderful cyber-friend to have, btw, and so knowledgeable and positive.

I am just starting my Lyme journey and right before any major symptoms happened I developed this awful new fear of flying on airplanes. I had never been afraid of this before, but I suddenly had a huge panic attack getting on my flight a couple months ago. Like you, my heart was beating and my body just felt out of control. I knew this was out-of-character for me, but Lyme wasn’t even a thought back then so I just figured it was a new thing. Now I know better!

It sounds like you went into a full on freeze survival response (an example of this is going into shock after an injury – there is fight/flight, and if things get really scary for the body, freeze/shutdown – I’ve been studying Dr. Stephen Porges Polyvagal Theory and the nervous system to understand my own stuff)…Your fiance was awesome, talking with you to bring you out of it – exactly what you needed. I am so glad that you are blessed to have such a wonderful support system in your 3 F’s – fiance, family and friends…thank you for sharing all of your healing journey; for sharing all of yourself (you are STRONG), even the tough, scary, nasty bits…to me, this is why you will heal. You are in all of it with all of you, and you are surrounded by wonderful people who are in it with you.

My doctor had me pause my Cowden protocol until I finished my anx because it was causing too much of a herx. I have always had anxiety and have a history of panic attacks so it seems like a recurring symptom coming up. This all happened on top of my returned costochondritis which I had back in May and I’m sure resurfaced from herxing. I hear a lot of herxing can be emotional release so I’m trying to calm myself knowing this and covering all my bases by wearing a heart moniter from the cardiologist. Wishing you luck, you’re definitely not alone in this! XO
