Lyme and full moon

Hello MultiF.
It wouldn't surprise me. I know there was an Equinox on Saturday night and my
energy was way up. I hadn't felt so good in over a few years.
We had rain where I live, the next day and I was tired. The past two days
I've slept. It was damp and dreary and that brings on symptoms for me. Especially, a
heavy head.
I don't follow the full moon. Was it Monday night? I'm told not to start a
detox during a full moon. If I'm not mistaken, your body retains more fluids, water.
So. I'm sure it can effect your symptoms.

Hello PeteZa,
Thank you for your reply and your link.
When I looked at this month's chart, it showed the full moon to be Tuesday, today, and
tomorrow. That would make sense because the equinox seems to have no connection with
the full moon. Rather it has to do with how close the earth is to the moon or sun, I'm pretty
sure. So, if I was feeling really energized, it was three days days before the full moon.
I read some of Andreas Moritz who talks about the liver cleanse. He says to start
it on the new moon. I take it that would be the waning moon which would start on Friday.
I do not plan on doing this. Just interesting to see how he feels the moon would relate to
doing a cleanse.
I attempt to detox on a regular basis. Wishing you a good day overall.

Very interesting. DS is having a sofa day and it's not where near his every 20 days "sofa day" that was just a week ago. We were trying to figure out if it's because he overdid it yesterday physically (definitely a component b/c did weight training and lacrosse and rode his bike in between after 2-3 weeks of knee pain and not much exercise), started back on his meds today or maybe now I see it could be the full moon. Another thing to track!

Isn't the new moon a waxing moon? Waning mean 'going away' I believe.

Whenever I think it's the full moon that bothers my symptoms, they flare up with no relation at all to the moon it seems.

It's hard to tell, as I have so many things going on. What is it, and why is it happening? Though, yes, I've noticed things around the full moon. The new moon as well. I had a cyst under my ear that would always get all sore, achy, and swell up with fluid for a period of a few days around each new moon. I had it removed. The area still displays activity sometimes. No more fluid though.. yet (please, stay away).

Actually, Monday night I was feeling worse than usual, and I wondered about this - had the impulse to look to the sky, then saw what was nearly a full moon. looked up the cycles when I got home, and sure enough one was on the way.

me too, jdm99. Bad headache yesterday morning and today...thinking I need to detox more today but no time for that... :(

Thank you for the information and the link cd3764. My next question was going to be about how to detox and when. I am so happy to have found the Healingwell Lyme Community. Trova means found. How pertinent.

I have never shared my 'full moon' concerns with anyone before because I am aware of the reception that I would receive within my circle. I am very grateful for the opportunity to inquire and share without the fear of ridicule.

Oh this explains so much to me. Just a feeling of "off" and now I know why.

Yes, these flares can really be tracked by watching for the full and new moons. Not everyone reacts this way, and not many react on both the full and new moons though.

I had the hardest time driving around today. so hard to keep my focus on the rd and other cars with my brain fog.

The new moons always get me. While I kind of alluded to it in my post back in March, it's gotten to where I can just tell that one is coming by how I am feeling, I don't even have to check online.

Though, I do anyway, just to confirm. I felt off on the 13th, and sure enough we've got a new moon today.

I feel like the full moon gets me as well, though significantly less, but it could just be a placebo from me thinking it is gonna have an impact.

The new moons I "feel" though.

I really wish someone would get into reseaching why this happens. People say tides and the moon affecting the Earth's electromagnetic frequencies or something, but information is conflicting, I feel.

I want something concrete.

Sadly, even if people did put in the time, money, and effort, it could just be one of those things that are beyond our scope of knowledge at this time.

Space is the wave, regarding uncharted territory, but there's still so much about life down here we don't understand, right? If I had a creative mind, I would provide examples, but I am hoping my point is clear without.

Oh well..

I am struggling VERY badly with my Lyme/Neuropathy symptoms today, and I then looked up and realized that low and behold there is a Full Moon coming this evening. My head pressure is EXTREMELY intense, and my hands and legs are shaking uncontrollably at times(more than usual). I just did some detoxing herbs, and am considering an Epsom salt bath. I may have to resort to an Ativan, as the pain is becoming pretty unbearable. I am wondering whether there is anyone else out there that is feeling the wrath of this Lunar Nightmare. I would love to hear from anybody at all-so at least I can know that I am not going insane. Any suggestions about dealing with evening's Full Moon, as well as the next couple of days would also be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks-Take Care, rjb
