First, I have an appt with my primary care doc at 9 for more pain medicine. I should have asked this sooner.
Do you tell your doc you are being treated for Lyme or let them keep trying to figure out what is wrong?
I got lucky enough that the Lyme Doc I saw accepts insurance, so my primary care doc had to write the referral and knows her info if that makes a difference. I need the pain meds to function halfway normally so I don't want to make him mad.
Second question, I noticed someone posted about a different anti w/ menstrual issues.
Ok I guess two more questions, One, Lyme can cause menstrual irregularity by itself right?
And second can doxy cause it? I have been on doxy for aboue 20 days, have the depo and usually only spot once or twice on it, I've been spotting for over a week now and it's driving me nuts!
Thanks!

littlebit27 I did not have menses for a year till I
started Doxy. Then I got regular again. Quit doxy
and its gone again. Doxy hits Lyme.

Might as well tell them you have Lyme.
Your irregularity could be a type of herx. When we take abx for Lyme, old symptoms can become worse and new ones can also show up for the first time.
Yes, Lyme messes with the female organs.. bigtime.

I hate it. I'm sick of the irregularity, I hate the pain but I can deal with it. I hate the female issues the MOST!
