hi,
What you experiencing is so called Post Lyme Syndrome. Post treatment about one third of patients experience severe fatigue, sleep disturbance, unconsciousness, and cognitive difficulties, peripheral neuropathy. If you have visited me, i should have given you gabapentin and symptomatic treatment post antibiotics like doxycycline or Minocycline.
You should consult your treating doctor regarding this.
Wish for good health.
