That is me. Never had issues before I had Lyme with any moodiness ever, even the pain is much worse. I get like this a whole week before my period. I even spout off at the cat. :-)

It is not you.. I have the same thing. I am a basket case before my period every month. And I thought I had bad PMS before I got sick! [cussing]

I am 46 years old, so I don't know if mine is Lyme related or not.

I get very bit**y a day or two before my period-very short tempered and mean. I snap. I wasn't like this until about 2 years ago.

Once my period gets here that passes, but then the cramps are much worse like when I was a teen.

Prior to my diagnosis my entire body, but mostly legs ached severely for about a week before my period.

It seems that with treatment since December the body aches/leg pain before aren't as bad, but the cramps are.
