Everything was pretty bareable until last May when everything seemed to cascade and suddenly new symptoms popped up everyday.

When I entered this new chapter the first thing that ushered it in was these heavy periods where my periods had seemed to shorten and become very light.

Then all of the sudden they were extremely heavy and they lasted almost six days.

Please get your ferritin checked, as well as your hematocrit and hemoglobin. A ferritin less than 50 ng/mL indicates you are iron deficient; so check with your doctor about adding iron supplements.

my first period after first treatment of Doxy was outrageously painful-

made me throw up etc- but since then- they have been almost painless in comparison to pre lyme-

I try to count my blessings and look at this as one thing lyme has made easier for now at least-

that and a absolute resolve to never take my health for granted once I recover!

Sorry to hear that yours haven't been as easy-
