I have read about migrating pain...but I thought that meant daily changes.
A few weeks ago, my back was really sore, and my right tricep area. (Other areas of pain, too, but those two were "front and centre")

Now, those aren't too bad, but for the past week both my shoulders are sore and the bottoms of my feet - and my back and right tricep pain has eased up.

Is this normal for lyme/co's? (if you can call lyme disease normal..lol)

Girlie,

My pain moves around a lot too, sometimes daily, sometimes after several weeks. It's like an adventure everyday when I roll out of bed to find out what it is that hurts like crazy today :P

We all deserve medals for battling this horrific disease.

Okay - then I shouldn't be questioning that I have lyme disease, then.
Just needed some reassurance, that what's happening to me is "normal" for lyme for some people.

I've been experiencing this in just the past few days but it has mainly involved the joints. On Tuesday it was my right knee and yesterday it was my left wrist.
The many and varied symptoms of Lyme & Co. are starting to make me feel crazy because it makes absolutely ZERO sense to me. When I start describing the different symptoms to someone who just found out I've been sick they kind of look at me like I'm a nutjob. LOL.
Oh well. Embrace the crazy!
ADoes anyone have any ideas why these migrating pains happen?

Agreeing with Lymeinthecuckoonut. My pains can/did move around a lot sometimes, other times they stick in one or two areas for a bit. I think I prefer for them to keep changing!!! LOL!

I used to have really bad days where the pain changed every couple of hours - by the end of the day, every part of me had been or was in pain. But that was pretty extreme and only happened a couple dozen times maybe -I tried to not count them!

I too have migrating pain and, for the most part, it's my joints. Sometimes every joint in my body hurts for days at a time, then it is just my wrists, hands, fingers and right ankle. Then my left wrist and right elbow were horrible (couldn't even lift anything), then ribs, back & soles of feet. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason for what and when.

OK - So I have pain that comes on suddenly and lasts maybe 30-60 seconds, and then moves to another spot after 10-20 minutes, and again stays for 30-60 seconds - migrating around my body, like that over the course of an entire day. I also have this same kind of migrating pain with my joints. I also have pain that comes and stays awhile, but wondering if anyone gets these quick moving migrating pains...?

Girlie - it's all "normal" for Lyme Disease.

That's weird, I don't really get joint pain but mine seems to be more muscular or the sheath that's around the muscles. That's why I got the fibro diagnosis. But my husbands pain is more in his joints.
