What Causes Excessive Sleep And Crusty And Bloodshot Eyes Post Lyme Disease Treatment?

Hi, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease one month after the bite. (I thought it was a spider bite, so I didn t seek treatment until I felt ill.) I had two 30-day rounds of antibiotics, and just had the bloodwork done again, and tested positive. What do you think is my next step? My symptoms at this point include a need for an unusual amount of sleep at night, 11-12 hours. Another new symptom seems to be related to my eyes. I wake up with crust on the lids, and they are somewhat bloodshot most of the day, as if I had untreated allergies. I do take an antihistamine, which is the only drug I take. YYYY@YYYY

Consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated. You might require antihistamine eye drops for symptomatic relief.
