Hello everyone and thank you for letting me be part of your community.

I suffer from various symptoms , some of which you may be very familiar - chronic fatigue and pain , sleep disturbance , irritable bowel, food intolerance , chronic UTI. however there is one strange symptom that I am embarrassed to talk about- it falls into 3 parts -firstly ,the less strange one- I go through phases of clumsiness, they seem to come roughly every few weeks and consist of tripping over things, dropping keys when I am putting them into locks and misplacing my fingers eg when I am texting . Another strange thing is bumping into fixed objects like door frames and sometimes people. There are many other examples but they all have in common that I am aware that my co-ordination is poor and seems to get better over the coming weeks. Could this be chronic Lyme disease or an infective agent or a non infective chronic infection or maybe just something psychological. Ive had many tests and scans which have proved negative apart from a chronic UTI sometimes.

I'll leave the other parts for now in case I'm on the wrong forum.

    I had similar issues back in April and it was very low vitamin D and folic acid.

    it needs checking out more thoroughly though as it can be one of about six things.

    Hi @Kam and welcome to the community. We're unable to give medical advice but there may be other members who can relate to you. It must be so frustrating to have lots of tests and not be any wiser as to what is wrong. Is your Dr supportive and do you feel they'll help you get to the bottom of what's going on?

    I'm not expecting any medical advice thanks Rachel, however as you say just maybe someone else has had the same symptoms -that would be a start. Yes my Dr is as supportive as they can be.

    I'm glad your Dr is supportive. Often they can be quite dismissive when they're not sure what's wrong. Has your Vitamin D and folic acid levels been tested as Nightcity mentioned?

    I take a fair dose of many vitamins including vitamin D- my vitamin D is usually ok without being great. It doesn't' go up if I increase the dose
