After reading some of these posts, I figured I would post my story. I was diagnosed with Lyme in May of 2012, I had no idea how long I had it for as I never got a rash (at least never noticed one). I'm thinking I may have had it for a while as a lot of the symptoms I experienced were ones that if untreated, not sure. In any event, I experience mood swings, irritability, depression, personality changes and many of the other Lyme symptoms. On top of all of this, I am pretty sure I am going through menopause (post) and I'm not exactly sure what symptom is caused from what. The roller coaster ride I've put my ex through is unbelievable. Lyme + Menopause does not equal anything good. I just made a call to my OB GYN as I requested to be tested for my estrogen levels. Again, I'm not sure if it's the Lyme, or menopause. I have recognized my mood swings, personality changes and now I am trying to deal with it all (a year and a half later). I am also trying to make amends with the ex, not sure where it will go, but we'll see. These stories and postings have been very helpful.
