I've been off abx for almost 4 months now.

7 days ago I started a parasite treatment program, and it appears to be 'working'...

2 days ago I fell into a PMS like state, the likes of which I have not seen in years.

I am moody and cranky about stupid stuff, just like the good old days.

Pre-Lyme, co-workers had those days marked on the calendar and usually came armed with salt and chocolate to tame me.

Hormone testing shows my progesterone level severely low. Treatment (for me) was intolerable.

Is it possible the treatment of parasites has suddenly allowed my hormones to kick back into gear? I'm still using Milk Thistle, Cat's Claw and foot patches, so I don't think it's die-off buildup..

I think you could be right..i noticed the same. Do you get head pressure or dizziness with your PMS stuff when your progesterone is low?

these are my most prevalent symptoms!

No dizzies, no head pressure, although a year ago, those and hideous neck pain were my biggest issues...

Just cranky BIGTIME.. I was cleaning (aka throwing stuff around) today and my dogs were hiding from me.
