Neuralgias related to Lyme Disease

Some commonalities and distinctions are brought out in this analysis. All four of these remedies may address sciatic neuralgias, but Ledum dominates in this lower extremity locality, while Rhododendron, and especially Kalmia, dominate in neuralgias of the upper body. Gaultheria is too poorly characterized to warrant a proper comparative study, but shares the general neuralgic and sciatic tendencies of the group.

Migratory, shifting and traveling pains are characteristic of the group, applying to both the rheumatologic and neurologic pains. In Ledum, the characteristic direction of travel is distal to proximal; in Kalmia, proximal to distal. Rhododendron's pains may shift about rapidly, and characteristically descend.
