I'm 21 years old but feel 60. That's an improvement from a couple of months ago when I felt 90...lol.
5'5, 120lb with blue eyes, fair skin, and brown hair. I'm of mostly Swedish descent I actually contracted Lyme in Sweden but love the country anyways.
Used to dance ballet six days a week (hence the username) and was much more shapely then. I have lost all of my muscles since but have gained some back recently with yoga.
With LD and the medications I've been on, my weight has fluctuated a lot, hitting a low at 105lb when I had gastritis and could barely eat and a high at 130lb on gabapentin (I feel you, Kam.)
-------------------- Contracted Lyme 1999. Diagnosed January 2011.

Map, I have a feeling it's due to tons of different factors.
For example, even the different abx that we're all taking can modify our appetites and metabolisms in different ways. So if you put 50 healthy people (WITHOUT Lyme disease) on intense antibiotics, even then some of them will gain weight and others will lose it.
Plus with all the supplements we're taking, and with the changes of diet...
And finally - of course the bugs have an effect as well.
