I've always had many symptoms and been told I was a "mystery" by doctors but it was not until I had my first baby that things ramped up and have gone haywire, then I learned about Lyme.
I am undiagnosed, but going through the process.
Looking for similar stories.

I wasn't diagnosed until my kids were much older, but I definitely had a serious downward spiral after the birth of each of my 2 kids. I went 37 years undiagnosed though.

It's' quite common for a stressful event to cause an increase in symptoms.

Lyme became active for me 4-5 months postpartum. :(

evian - did you have your child tested? (Sorry, I can't remember)

No because she has so far showed no symptoms.

I'm not sure if I got infected before her birth many years ago, or after.

I know before I had no symptoms besides anxiety and neck tightness.

I got so sick after my baby. 4-5 months postpartum. I've just been diagnosed and my daughterisnow 2.5 yearsold. I have had it at least 15 years if not more though.
