Wow Lisa, that's strange about the alcohol... [confused]

I guess the weight gain thing is a question I need to write down, to ask my doctor. I've been terrible about that lately, and if I don't jot it down as soon as I think of one, I forget.

Everything with Lyme can be transient. You can have a leg swell up one day and not be able to walk, the next day you're ok. Day after, your hips are shot, etc.

You can have brain symptoms, not know your name one day and be ok a week later.

It's all over the place.

Alchohol is a doozy for Lyme. If you drink, you are exponentially decreasing your chances of getting well. This disease needs to be taken seriously.

If you had cancer and were told not to drink, I think you'd stop. I hope anyway.

The reason you can handle it sometimes and other no is because your toxic load varies. Lyme has a life cycle. When it dies off, and your body cannot flush out the "die off", you tend to feel sicker. Sometimes you might not feel it, but then overexerting yourself or say, having a few sips of booze, will push your immune system into overdrive, and you will crash. sometimes you'll crash for days.
If you aren't complying, you're decreasing your odds considerably.

I can't tell you what to do, and I'm not trying to be condescending. I just want to share my own limited knowledge and experience. Booze is bad for Lyme and it can keep you sick.

The eating could be your body trying to generate seratonin, another chemical that Lyme will dry out on us. Which is why so many of us suffer with depression as well. When I first became overly symptomatic, I was eating everything and anything and I was never full. I gained about 30 lbs. Once I started the doxy, that subsided.
