I've found that my symptoms seem to favor my left side. For example: my left shoulder, left knee, left ankle, left lung, left ear, muscles on the left side of my stomach, muscles in the left side of my face. Sometimes I'll get issues on the right side, but it's predominantly the left. Am I just really strange or is that common?

I usually get pains on both sides. Not symmetrically, it'll usually be like my right wrist and the left upper back... or the right elbow and the left knee. Before I had any kind of treatment it was a different story. Whole body, both sides, every joint, every muscle.
Not sure why you're having a left body experience, but I'm new to this! Maybe someone else has had the same thing happen.
If you're really strange, then we all are! LOL

Yes all left side. After Lyme I had to work on the pilates reformer to even up my musculature. I'm left handed, so it was odd that I had such a weak left side, but it was all Lyme damage.
Except my right thumb joint would hurt. I've read that small joint pain is usually mold, and I did have mold exposure, so that one makes sense.

So strange because my pain is probably 97% of the time always on both sides. Exception being mouth, gum or teeth. There is likes to travel.
One quad, then another quad used to be up down and around. 2 quads down, cleaned of nasty silver metal crowns and fillings stopped the bottom quads.
Just two quads left that are problems with root canal in one and cavitation in other in uppers. I can't wait to have them attended to.
Sometimes my ear issues and pain stay only on one side or other. Probably ties in with teeth and glands into neck.

Right side for me too. I have mostly neurological issues--tingling, numbness, etc. and it's usually in my right leg and arm.

Payne, Lyme (Borrellia) can mess with your autonomic system. I used to have spikes in BP and rapid heart rate, I also had POTS. Fingers crossed...got better after treating Borrellia specifically.
Left side symptoms for me! Like a little droopy in the face, left wrist and shoulder pain, left eye issues too.
