I know alt of females say they feel worse like a week before their period comes on, which happened to me last week, because i started my period yesterday.... But today i've been so dizzy, lightheaded, ect.... i feel all my symptoms flare up.. Can they flare while im on it also & not only before it comes?

I got big flares like that the first 6 months and last month, big flares but only spotted. Maybe I am drying up. I have heard TF talk of this during Lyme treatment. Then she got it back, if I remember correctly.

Yeah im spotting also

did spotting start immediately or was it a gradual thing?

well i always have iiregular period so i know it doesnt have to do with the lyme. When it first came down it was light but today it was heavier, maybe thats why i felt ok yesterday

sorry lyme seems to make it difficult for me to express myself [shake]

i meant did spotting start immediately when you first got lyme

or did it happen gradually months/years later ?

i've spotted before i had lyme because my period is irregular & i just got off the depo shot so my period is just really coming back

I have no idea how long I have had Lyme, but have been very irregular the past few years, never spotted though. I was diagnosed and started treating in Sept 10. PMS has been horrible, my symptoms got really bad, heart palps, crying spells, anxiety, fear, head/jaw pressure every month since.

that sounds just like what I have been going through

for few years, not sure when I got lyme either

worst thing is makes me feel so hateful and paranoid of people at work

My daughter seems to flare right around her period as well. Her periods are irregular as well, but hasn't experienced any spotting. She is only 19. I can tell you she gets PMS way worse with Lyme. It gets really difficult at times since she has a sis who is 17 and a brother who is 12. I really do believe in Lyme rage sometimes I wait to see if her head is going to spin around like she is possessed. It's scary.
