So this lyme thing seems to cycle pretty predictably for me from day to day. I feel the worst after breakfast a little bit until mid-afternoon. Let's say 10AM to about 2-3PM. After that I still feel crappy, but not as much. Do any of you have a similar pattern? Any theories as to what's happening? Thanks.

I definately have a pattern - but it is so deluted with all the happenings now at the Holidays thast it's hard to tell. Before the really crazy cycle started, a definate pattern was around the day of the week and the weather. I guess I'm more weather sensitive than anything. Sometimes I can't function at all if I don't stop and take some time to just rest.

Funny that you mention the weather. I live in NJ, and my worst nights (usually worse for me in late afternoon and night time) have been the ones right before the snow we've had.

I feel worse in the afternoon and at night. If I get enough sleep, then once I have my shower in the morning I feel pretty good; but by afternoon the horrid fatigue kicks in.
Pain however is usually worse in the mornings when I first get up, and at night when I am trying to go to sleep.

Yeah I couldn't sleep at all last night. My body felt like it was buzzing and not n a good way. Now today I am so fatigued it is absolutely ridiculous. Morning is usually not too ad. I may have some anxiety, but I can normlly (knock on wood haha) kick that away in time. When it starts getting dark out though, things turn for me.

Yep. Morning can be hellish, around 1pm things lighten up some.
Very rarely, the opposite will happen, morning will be surprisingly smooth and then evening very hard. But usually it is mornings, just awful.
If I am lucky I won't get the evening "hit" too.
Weather doesn't seem to have an effect on me one way or the other. Feel pretty much the same through all kinds of weather.
However, stress is like poison for me, I feel way setback. I don't "handle" or "process" stress like I did when I was healthy. For instance, my dog and cat dying this past year was devastating to the symptoms I experience.
It would be nice to handle stress normally again, grieve and move on - but it seems to linger and amp symptoms for months.
