One good thing is that least we dont get board with the same pain every day in the same place. They move they change, they are mild to hard symptoms.
Why they call it the great imitator.
About the only constant is the fatigue.
But as you improve they will lesson. Sometimes tho you might gain new ones. About the time i think i have it down pat something new goes on. graneet

I will totally agree with graneet! Always changing.
The only constant is the fatigue for me too. ~Amanda

It is very common to hear Lyme patients complain about their symptoms changing.
As you are going through treatment, and you herx, the herx can bring about Lyme symptoms that you have never experienced.

FOG is thick & in perpetuity. Joint pain & fatigue are predictable but are transient. Other bizzare symptoms are also transient but never fail to perplex me.

It's amazing how they change. Last week the middle finger and index finger went numb for 3-4 hours and then stopped. The week before my left wrist and forarm felt swollen and itchy. Now is gone. A couple weeks ago vision was real blurry. Now seems better. Originally my lowback was terrible. I was also getting bladder/prostrate pains. Now pretty normal. Lately been more nerve type things. Always changing! Yes, you guys hit it on the nose! Only constant is tiredness and achyness. Thanks everyone for the support. I tell you though. I have been doing much better this past month with my new exersize program. Seems to be really helping.

Never ends. Day to night. Might experience 10 symptoms in a day. No joke. Yesterday, felt like arthritis all over body, today hit by a truck,no joint pain, abdominal pain severe and clamminess.

The inconsistancy of this disease is sometimes the hardest thing for me to deal with.

What I find most difficult is the result of this always-changing nonsense - that you can't really make any plans, ever - because you don't know how you will feel from day to day.
Also hard to explain why you complained about a joint one day and the next day poof, it's gone.
Makes me seem really flaky, which I hate!

Good point Jesse. Some of my friends think I'm self-absorbed or non-commital as I never no how I'm going to feel. I hate the position this puts me in as I never know how I'm going to feel.

It's the nature of the beast. On the bright side, the really bad ones go away - hopefully to be replaced w/ a lesser one, next week, next day, next hour. ~Cindy~
