I gained weight and I know lots of other Lyme disease patients, men, women and children who gained weight.
Some of it might be from taking antibiotics. Otherwise, it might be just the way Lyme is affecting you.
Please talk the mercury count over with your doctor and get some help with that soon.

Yes, I have gained weight too.
1-04 I was dx with diabetes 2 and lost 17 lbs. by walking my butt off.
7-04 dx with late-stage lyme, and I have almost gained it all back.
My LLMD said my diabetes is complicating things so I would NOT lose, might hold and would gain most likely.
