Symptoms flare around that time of the month

[jkv44]

Hey Ladies,
this question is for you. I know the answer but it's good to get affirmation tht I'm not losing it.

My symptoms have flared last night and today. I couldn't understand it at first since I had a hex via the four week cycle almost a few weeks ago.

Do most/some have symptoms flare around that lovely time of the month? This really ***** sometimes. Doesn't it.

Just venting and know that all of you understand how I feel. Gosh, I'm so sick of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JKV

Yes, worse at that time.

This has come up a few times on this forum and I've consistently read about this happening, not only with Lyme but many other chronic illnesses as well.

I'm not very regular with my cycle.  I don't skip, but it can come faster than expected (lucky me).  With Lyme, I don't even both using a calender to track and predict it, I just wait for my monthly flare!

The more sick I am, the more dramatic my PMS-induced flare tends to be.

Hi,
yes, it's extremely frustrating. I sometimes get so upset and want to cry. Of course that's the PMS coming out at this time anyway.

For me the frustrating thing is that when some symptom is going away, something else new and exciting pops up. That tends to go away. I think that I need to keep a better journal of my symptoms.

Anyway, thanks for listening. I appreciate being able to come here and vent and no one judges just listens. JKV
