Please tell me this is Lyme related

I know I posted about this before, but I'm having horrible pain in my hands/wrists.  I can barely open my medicine bottles and am going to have to ask for a children's cap soon and I'm only 51!!!!

This is lyme...right??

I have just started getting this the last couple months. Yes it's from Lyme.

I get this a lot, yes it's lyme.

My pharmacy sold me easy open pill boxes that are specially designed for old people - many of whom have bad arthritis. They are easier to open and close than the child bottles.

Lyme can produce almost exactly the same symptoms as Rheumatoid Arthritis.  Discovered that while trying to figure out what I've had for over 50yrs.  One might be able to rule out RA by testing for the RA factor.  Said test is cheap, less than $50.

Hi

My pain in my wrists/hands is Lyme caused arthritis.  It started in my knees and moved around.  I have been on abx since January and am just now starting to feel a little better.  I have arthritis caps on all my meds....and a pair of pliers in the kitchen to open bottles.  I'm going to get an electric can opener as I can't operate the hand held one any more.  

I'm sorry you are going through this.  Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more.
