Any one else feel "off during their period? Mine started today and i felt off all day. right now though, I'm dealing with alot of crazy symptoms, headache, some chest pains, random muscles hurt, my vision seems a bit off, I have no appetite, my heart was racing a bit and I have some mild anxiety. Plus I'm home alone which isn't helping things any.

Let me also add mild air hunger to that list. Menstrual cycles already suck enough as it is. Is is really necessary for the Lyme to make it worse?

Anyone else?

So sorry you are struggling like this—you do not need these added issues. There have been a couple of recent threads on this topic —I'll see if I can find them. I don't have increased sx during my period, thankfully. But others have and will hopefully be along to chime in soon.

Here is some good info from awhile back:

My symptoms do get worse during that time. Brain fog,nausea, loss of appetite, vertigo, heart palps are worse. I get completely wiped out!

The magnified symptoms only last the first 2-3 days. I have found gradual improvement over the past 3 months, so i am curious to the connection to the lyme and myco.

Sorry i have no good advise, I'm just waiting it out and hope each month that my period won't come..going to be 51 in a few weeks, it's just not right!!

I am convinced that the swelling and inflammation your body puts on during that time of the month only aggitates and instigates the other problems or ads to the inflammation we already have from the lyme! .....yes i always feel like im herxing or having a sever episode while im PMS'ing...then when i get it, im not able to function!! Worst 10 days .....only to get a couple weeks off and it start again! :( Sorry
