Anyone else feel worse in the Fall? Seems to happen to me every year since being infected like forever ago.

No spring and summer is my worst and fall and winter seems some better

This is interesting. I wonder why it is? Hmmm? Different coinfections with different life cycles maybe, allergies, ....
I just restarted crypto at 100 drops three times a day. Maybe it's too much.

There is no cycle for me. Sometimes worse in summer, sometimes in winter, sometimes just year round.

I’m usually worse in fall/winter.

I am always cold now - and the cold ramps up my symptoms.
I do much better in the warmer weather.

Probably due to the D25 drop: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/02/120223103920.htm

also...

Winter to summer change in vitamin D status reduces systemic inflammation and bioenergetic activity of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells:

^ Various inflammatory markers were measured in winter compared to summer.

Yes for me its 100% due to rotting leaves on the ground, flares my mold symptoms terribly

I dont think anyone feels better in the fall if there is a cycle of leaves falling of trees and rotting. Most seasonal sicknesses start in the fall and there are germs everywhere from that.

Yep, definitely worse in fall, usually with a somewhat sudden decline that persists through winter. I think for me it's a few things: more mold in the air, less sunlight, being worn out from all the pushing myself I do over the summer when I think I'm getting better, drier indoor air, and steeper barometric pressure drops as cold fronts move in. But I have a feeling there's more to it that I have not figured out. (I'm in New England, for what it's worth.)

Winter and Spring for me. But I live in CA. My summers are cold so...

Yes, I'm very affected by fall. I hate it. Every time I'm dreading it when summer is over.

Not to mention the depression aspect of it.

Some people like it.

I don't. The darkness, the rotten leafs, the rain, all the holiday expectations. blehhhhhhhh

Like Girlie fall and winter are worse than the summer and I feel very cold especially when flaring then come the daily rashes from December-April.

I thought heat intolerance with Lyme was more common? Summer is hell on earth for me, I feel like I'm dying for months. I suspect the humidity is the worst of it. It's like it slows my brain down.

As soon as that first 50 degree day hits I get instant symptom relief. Fall and Winter are perfect.

It wasn't always like this -- my heat intolerance started in 2012, but I suspect I've had Lyme for at least 20 years. I don't get it.
